each door has two vertically reeded panels in a plain frame. A fixed central post between the doors is incised with a column of chevrons, crossed by an x at its centre. Dark, hammered strap hinges scroll into s-shapes ending in stylised bird heads, with matching scrolled escutcheons, and a ring-handled key is shown in the left lock.

the thick, overhanging top rests on a moulded frieze with small scroll brackets at the front corners. Square stiles frame the doors, a moulded rail and scalloped apron run along the base, and the sides are framed panels.

inside, the left side holds shelves, two drawers with dovetailed corners and cut-out handles, and two shallow pull-out trays lined in green felt, one fitted with a slotted rack. The right side has four shelves, and the inner faces of the doors show strongly flecked oak grain.

the pale oak, reeded panels and dark hardware suit rustic rooms and interiors furnished with antiques. The cabinet's simple mass and generous storage also work well in a scandinavian dining room or hallway. This piece has an attribution mark,
