An authentic piece of furniture in good working condition with slight signs of age-related wear including old woodworm channels (not active!) and visible repairs. The surface has been freed from the old dark surface coating over time and now shows the natural texture of the old wood with a beautiful patina when unsealed. New glass panes were inserted. The shelves were completely sanded, refurbished and resealed.
The cabinet can be dismantled into several parts for transport (base, 2 side panels, 2 doors, multi-part cassette back panel, shelves, cornice).
