Made from quarter-sawn oak featuring a pronounced wood grain, it reflects a classic Late Victorian / Empire profile accented by full-round side columns, deep molded top trim, and carved claw feet.

Attributed Maker: Retains a partial original paper maker's label on the rear panel confirming manufacture by A.J. Johnson & Sons Furniture Co. (Chicago, IL).

Glass Enclosure: Two full-length framed glass doors to showcase books, fine porcelain, or collectibles.

Interior Storage: Three adjustable full-width interior shelves.

Architectural Details: Flanked by full-round column supports, carved paw/claw front feet, and smooth crown molding.

Integrated Vintage Wiring: Features non-operational legacy wiring along the rear center seam from previous historical cabinet display lighting.

Condition Notes:
Good antique condition consistent with age and use. Displays natural finish wear, particularly to the top, light surface scuffs, and edge rubbing. Interior shelves show minor finish variation. The back panel shows typical age and retains very old non-operational wiring from past interior lighting. Potentially a very old repair to one of the rear legs. See less
