The main cabinet with two pairs of carved sliding doors with symbols, relief carved birds below, and rosettes in the corners. Modified at an earlier time to house two shelves inside with red fabric tops. The lower cabinet with three carved doors with rosettes. With side panels and heavy block legs. Red fabric lining. Dimensions: H. 74 1/2", L. 71", Depth 18" Condition: Please see detail photos.
