About

Fronted by four large doors with chicken wire windows opening to a large six shelf interior. The lower sideboard has matching doors with wire windows opening to a large storage area with pigeon hole cubbies. The case has a beautifully aged patina on the faded dove grey painted finish. The front is decorated with pilaster columns having carved acanthus and rosettes.
