An Edwardian marquetry inlaid bowfronted china display cabinet, in the manner of Edwards & Roberts, H.6ft 6in. W.5ft 4in.
Estimate £600-900
Upper pediment section is not fixed down, looks like this will just require four screws to do so, and it sits happily and in line on the top, colour possibly a little faded but an even mid to gingery golden brown, main central door showing some flecking in the varnish, would perhaps benefit from a repolish, to the left of that central door on the upright just left and above the escutcheon there is some darker blacker staining that looks to be later, may just be from finger marks over the years, one key works the central door and the left door lock, however the left door does not shut tight and looks to be needing some attention, right hand door does lock shut and has a working key, silk lining to the left and right sides is now a little tired and faded, some light scuffing to the feet.
