Antique Shop Display Cabinet with Glass Shelves

A rather smart antique shop display cabinet, dating from the late Victorian to early Edwardian period and full of original character and charm. A particularly attractive and highly decorative example, a practical survivor from a bygone age that is getting increasingly more difficult-to-find..   Made from mahogany with glazed sides and rear door, this handsome display case would once have sat on a traditional shop counter, showcasing prized stock whilst keeping it protected from curious hands. The cabinet still retains its original cast metal shelf supports and has been fitted with antique glass shelves, perfectly complementing the age and style of the piece.   The mahogany frame has been carefully cleaned, waxed and polished, bringing warmth and depth back to the timber whilst preserving the honest signs of age and use accumulated over more than a century. Whether used to display antique tins, collectables, taxidermy, watches, jewellery, curiosities or treasured personal collections, this is a wonderfully versatile piece with genuine period charm.   Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear, marks and imperfections consistent with its history, all of which contribute to its authentic character.   Measures 75cm (h) x 56cm (w) x 45cm 9d)
