An early 20th century ebonised countertop shop display cabinet, with glass front, sides and door.
The cabinet is fitted with two glass shelves supported on small brass brackets, offering three useful display levels. A simple brass door catch remains in place, and the restrained moulded frame gives it the straightforward appearance typical of early commercial shop fittings.
The ebonised finish has developed good wear throughout, particularly around the edges, mouldings and top, with knocks and marks consistent with age and previous use. These signs of wear add to the cabinet’s original shop-fitted character rather than detracting from it.
The cream fabric lining to the base is a later replacement. A practical and attractive antique display cabinet, ideal for jewellery, collectables, watches or smaller retail pieces.
