Description

When transporting the cupboard, the carved post on the right side broke off and was not found. Other than that, it is in excellent condition. It has a double shelf on the left side, 6 mirror accents, top lockable cabinet storage with hand-carved man on cabinet door, double door cabinet bottom with shelves inside and hand-carved male faces on the cabinet doors and 2 large drawers. Possibly marble countertop. Original key. The entire cupboard seems to have a lot of hand-carved work on it.

History
It was sold to my mother by an old aquantince whom it was left to by her grandfather. He possibly brought it from overseas after serving in the military. They have both since passed away. She said that an antique collector told her that it was an early 19th century French Walnut cupboard and was likely worth over 10,000 dollars.
