Condition report:
Overall lovely condition, throughout with some signs of age. There is slight surface wear in places where the veneer has peeled off (pictured) including age-related patina to the gilding, and very minor marks, scratches and stains to the wood. The silk lining is stained however adds to the history of this piece. The antique glass display cabinet remains structurally solid and sound, with the glass on all 3 sides intact. Overall, a neat example of an antique glass display cabinet.
