The pair of locking doors feature original latticework brass grillwork and they open to reveal an upholstered interior with two fixed shelves.

A simple piece with clean angular lines, it is of incredibly convenient proportions. By being only 10 1/2" in total depth, it fits comfortably even in narrow hallways or small entryways. The rich and beautifully patinated rosewood is mellowed and shows wonderful age throughout.
