AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Special cabinet — a housekeepers cabinet — this piece of furniture was used to store clothes.
Around 1720-1750 with later adjustments.
Below is a chest that is only accessible from the inside. You must first open the doors to lift the lid. It is a loose lid without hinges with a heart-shaped slot for your finger — see detail photos.

Above are two doors with a lock. The key works.
Convenient for storing a summer or winter wardrobe.
The panels are quarter-sawn oak.
The cabinet has a beautiful and typical English patina.
Early wrought-iron hinges.

Restoration:
The legs were worn and all four have been re-raised by about 10 cm.

Bids under the reserve will not be honored.
Prices are very reasonable, therefore I’m happy to sell to people who appreciate it.

I only ship to EU countries.
Buyers from other countries must arrange their own transport.
You will receive the shipment details from me.
That can be with UPS, GLS, FedEx and DHL, among others.
You will receive a label from your carrier and email it to me.
I can advise you."
