Description
It is a two piece breakfront. It appears to be made of mahogany. The wood is in very good condition, but is very light, perhaps dry. I have attached many pictures. It was obtained from a thrift shop/antique dealer around 1970. The way the glass is attached to the doors is that there is a very fine piece of wood pane separator, the glass is inserted, and some very fine slats are inserted on all four sides on the inside. The slats were very finely cut, and were attached with very fine wire, almost like nails, but looks like the wood was pressed onto the wire to attach it. I have also attached pieces of the hardware, pictures of the inside and sides and fronts of the drawers. I had to manufacture a couple of minor piping pieces that had come off the fronts of the drawers. Those were also attached with those very fine wire nail like things. You could not see where the wire was inserted from the outside so I think the wood was actually pushed onto the wire.
