The cabinet is approximately 150 years old, built in the French Louis Philippe style, and is an absolute highlight in terms of its construction, interior, and quality of workmanship. Thanks to the large mirrored glass panel on the door, the cabinet can also be placed in smaller rooms or hallways. It visually enlarges the room and gives the furniture additional depth. The piece of furniture has four adjustable shelves. The storage space is complemented by two drawers – one hidden inside, the second elegantly integrated into the profiled base panel and incorporated as a "hiding place." The polished and original rosewood veneer on the outside and the elegant bird's eye maple on the inside (mirror back panel and drawer) emphasize the high-quality character of the furniture—a sign of masterful carpentry from times gone by.
