Atropos Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
LONDON.
AS CAN BE SEEN FROM TWO DRAWERS WHICH WERE SILK BASE LINED AS OPPOSED TO THE REMAINING 54 LINED WITH RICH BLUE VELVET, THE CABINET HAD HOUSED AND DISPLAYED STONE ARROW HEADS, THE 'GHOSTED' IMAGES BEING APPARENT DUE TO EXSPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. IT HAS DEEPER DRAWERS THAN A SLIDE CABINET WITH WHICH IT SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED. THE DRAWERS HAVE AN INTERNAL USABLE DEPTH OF 10mms THEREBY MAKING IT EMMINENTLY SUITABLE AS A MEDAL CABINET, (EXAMPLES SHOWN). ANY COLLECTION OF SMALL AND PRECIOUS ITEMS WILL BE ENHANCED GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THIS SUPERB CABINET.
THE CABINET IS CONSTRUCTED BEAUTIFULLY AND IS SOLID MAHOGANY THROUGHOUT. ALL THE MOULDING, JOINTS AND FITTINGS ARE OF THE VERY HIGHEST QUALITY AND WORK OF THIS STANDARD TODAY WOULD BE HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND THE COST WOULD BE TRULY ASTRONOMICAL!
EACH DRAWER HAS A TURNED EBONY KNOB WITH BONE INSET AND THE OPAQUE PLATES ON THE DRAWER FRONTS ARE FOR THE WRITTEN DETAIL OF THE CONTENTS, IF REQUIRED.
ALL ORIGINAL GLASS, HINGES, LOCK, KEY ETC, ETC.
ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME AND MY PERSONAL DELIVERY OF THIS ITEM TO ENSURE ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT IT WILL NOT MEET WITH ROUGH TREATMENT FROM COURIER OR SHIPPER IS AVAILABLE.
