a glazed top with arched paneled doors enclosing 3 adjustable shelves

a central base and a lower enclosed cupboard, which enables ease of installation.
The
cornice has a concave moulding below which is the glazed top with arched
paneled doors enclosing 3 adjustable shelves. The
central section has an attractive and unusual carved egg and tounge boarder.
The
base has a pair of doors which are beautifully decorated with matched
quartered veneers giving a very decorative finish to the piece.*
