    Description

    This beautiful, tall Ming cabinet was probably originally a wedding cabinet, used to keep dowry items for a bride.
    Elm wood with black lacquer and brass handles. The cabinet is solid black inside and out, has two removable shelves, that are 20.5" deep x 20.5 wide. There are 4 removable doors - 2 upper and 2 lower. No tools required, they easily slide out yet are steady with a smooth open/close if kept in.
    I bought this at Glenn Richards Import Furniture in Seattle and had them create 3 round openings in the back for electrical cords on above each of the 3 shelves, should you want to use it as a media cabinet, or create lighting to display décor or other antiques. The same beautiful black lacquer is on the inside of the 2 removable shelves and drawers.
    Brass/bronze hardware/handles.
    36.5" wide, 74.5" tall, 25" deep
    Inside shelves are 20.5" deep x 20.5 wide, and removable.
    I don't have a way to deliver, a nd can box ship for 0. Free for local Seattle or Kitsap County pickup. Previous movers have hand carried it with 2 strong people, but a moving cart would be helpful.
