The upper doors showcase carved embellishments in high-relief such as an oval rosette complemented by decorative escutcheons. The left-hand door's interior latch is quite impressive and the top lock is functional. Four removable shelves are housed within the top section. The apron encloses a large drawer with paneled front that contains a permanent partition down the center. While the lock on the lower doors no longer functions, instead they are held closed with a modern magnetic clasp and forged iron latch that mirrors the one within the top. The lower body sits flush to the ground on a plinth base. One key is included. Note the piece separates into two parts for easier transportation and relocation within the home. Make sure to view the detailed images to get a closer look at the great patina and quality craftsmanship.
