The twin doors open to reveal a fitted interior of six small drawers, each with original metal pulls, above a pair of exterior drawers and a long drawer to the base. The cabinet retains its decorative metal corner mounts and a red silk tassel to the door handle. A beautifully made personal chest of compact proportions, ideal for storing jewellery, stationery, or small treasures.

Condition & Description: At Sinclair’s Antiques and Interiors, we take great care to describe and photograph each item thoroughly, highlighting any notable imperfections such as shrinkage splits, veneer losses or lifts, repairs, or surface marks. Given the age and character of our pieces—each shaped by years of polishing and use—minor signs of wear may not be individually detailed. We therefore encourage you to visit our warehouse or request additional images if you’d like further reassurance.
