This "wrap-around" visibility transforms the piece into a true 180-degree display vitrine. Crafted from solid aged teak with a warm, honey-toned waxed finish, it features two interior shelves and a subtle gallery-rail top—perfect for preventing small items from sliding off the upper surface. Originally designed as a "Medical" or "Apothecary" cabinet in colonial-era India, the three-sided glass construction allowed pharmacists or doctors to quickly identify contents from multiple angles. The small footprint (only 21 inches wide) made it a standard fixture in professional offices and private bungalows alike.

Because it has glass sides, this piece shouldn't be tucked into a dark corner. Place it between two windows or at the end of a sofa where the light can pass through it. It’s an exceptional "curiosity cabinet" for your smaller artifacts.
