Long Description
About 5 ft long and 3.5 ft high, a foot deep. Three locking doors with adjustable shelves inside for books or other curiosities. One door's glass is missing (broken and awaiting to be replaced). Some minor scuffs and imperfections from age. Gorgeous wooden inlay details. I assume this piece is mahogany and made around 1920. Sold by revell & co originally. Very heavy piece. Looking to see how much it's worth. Ideally looking to sell. May sell with the glass missing. Please comment the value difference is glass is repaired or not. TYIA!

Revell & Co is best known for its stacking "Barrister Bookcases", which went for big prices up until 2000. The standard book cases tend to sell 300-600 at auction currently.
