The vitrine features three internal adjustable shelves with brass inlay trim, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail. Each shelf is secured by four pins, allowing for height adjustment.

The cabinet's glass front and sides offer a clear view of displayed items, while a front-opening door with a key provides practicality and security.
