Description from the seller

Classic Antique Display Cabinet / Bookcase with Original Blown Glass and Adjustable Shelves – Circa 1900

Description:
Atmospheric and characterful antique wooden display cabinet/curio piece from the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century. This cabinet combines a sturdy appearance with refined historic details.

Special features:
Original aged blown glass: The doors still feature authentic, lightly bubbled glass in which the characteristic air bubbles and waviness of old crafted glass are clearly visible.
Adjustable shelves: The interior is equipped with the traditional 'mouse steps' system (stair-stepped wooden slats), allowing the sturdy shelves to be easily adjusted to any desired height.
Curved shelves: The shelves have a graceful semi-circular cutout at the front. This not only creates a spatial effect but also makes it easy to store and display items.
Excellent condition of the hardware: The original lock closes wonderfully and comes with a matching key. The wooden sliding/bolt of the fixed door closes perfectly and snugly without any play.
Decorative fittings & details: Featuring beautifully worked brass/brass-like escutcheons, a classic crown with geometric motifs and neckpieces, and solid ball feet at the front.
A highly functional and decorative cabinet that fits perfectly in a classical, country, or modern minimalist interior.

Specifications:
Type of furniture: Display cabinet / China cabinet / Bookcase
Period: Circa 1890 – 1910
Material: Wood (stained/dark patina), glass, brass/metal hardware
Dimensions:
Height: 188 cm
Width: 113 cm
Depth: 56 cm

Condition:
In very good, authentic condition with a lovely aged patina. The woodwork shows light age-related signs that contribute to the character of the piece. No damage to the glass. The lock, the key, and the hardware function excellently. Structurally very sturdy and ready for immediate use.

Packaging & Shipping:
Professional protection: To optimally protect the weight and fragility of the authentic blown glass, the cabinet is carefully wrapped in a thick layer of bubble wrap, foam, and protective cardboard. It is securely fixed to a wooden pallet.
Insured transport: The shipment is carried out via professional pallet transport and is fully insured.
Delivery to the door (ground floor): The driver delivers the pallet to the front door on the ground floor.
Important on receipt: Please note that the driver will not carry the furniture inside or upstairs. Please arrange for assistance to safely move the cabinet indoors after delivery.
Pickup: Pickup is of course possible by arrangement.
