How do I clean the glass?

Use a gentle glass cleaner applied to a soft cloth rather than spraying directly onto the surface. This prevents moisture from seeping into the surrounding mahogany or satinwood inlay. Take care around old brass hardware and aged wood finishes to avoid chemical damage during routine maintenance.

Are these cabinets secure for valuable items?

Most pieces feature original working locks and keys suitable for basic enclosure of display items. However, period locking mechanisms should not be relied upon as modern security. Consider them primarily for dust protection and aesthetic presentation rather than high-security storage.

How do I fit one into a room?

Measure the precise wall depth and corner angle before placement to ensure the cabinet sits flush against both walls. Standing versions require level flooring to prevent door misalignment. Position the cabinet away from direct sunlight to protect rosewood and mahogany finishes from fading over time.

Can these be wall mounted?

Smaller variations are built for wall hanging using internal brackets or rear fixing points. Ensure your wall construction can support the combined weight of the timber and glass. Standing versions rest on the floor but may benefit from discreet wall tethering for stability in busy rooms.
