Above, arched panes of glass allow one to view the interior, which is fitted with three fully adjustable shelves for your convenience, with discreet storage possible behind the aforementioned panels. Finely cast brass barrel hinges and key guards complete the look. Circa 1890s Measures 82.5H x 51W x 20D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, Texas
