Description
As you lift up on the top cover, a lever opens the top front panel to reveal a shelf. On this shelf are grooves that you can slide a glass into, such as a wine glass. There are also round cut-outs in the wood to hold regular glasses in place. The bottom has a shelf on top and more round cutouts to store bottles. There is a lock to the cabinet, but I don't have a key.

Re: Liquor Storage Cabinet
I have a similar cabinet, with a mirrored back. Have you ever had your cabinet appraised? and if so, what was it appraised at. I believe mine is from the 20's or 30's, is made of mahogony. I would appreciate a reply at [email protected].
