DESCRIPTION
An unusual and particularly attractive Regency rosewood collector's cabinet, circa 1820, of compact tabletop proportions.
The cabinet is arranged with two banks of six small drawers, each fitted with turned rosewood knobs and secured by a vertical locking stile in the manner of a Wellington chest. Between them is an open mirrored compartment fitted with shaped shelves, surmounted by an attractive pierced Gothic and foliate fretwork apron.
The rosewood has an attractive rich colour and figuring, particularly across the drawer fronts, while the mirrored central section gives the cabinet an unusually decorative appearance.
A distinctive and useful piece, well suited to use as a collector's cabinet for jewellery, watches, coins, curiosities or other small objects.

CONDITION
The cabinet is in very good antique condition overall, with minor marks, knocks and scratches consistent with age and use. There is some light age-related spotting to the mirror. The drawers run smoothly and the cabinet is sound and sturdy. There are no keys present, although the locks are currently unlocked. A particularly attractive and usable cabinet, retaining its original character and presenting well throughout.
