Edwardian Bow Fronted Countertop Display Cabinet

A Superb Bow Fronted Edwardian Jewellery display cabinet. Made from ebonised mahogany, retaining the original bowed glass door & side panels, leather interior to the 2 shelves & back with inlaid bead detailing. C1900

Victorian and Edwardian Shop Culture (C1890–1910) Department stores, jewellers, and chemists (pharmacists) utilised ebonised oak, mahogany, or walnut countertop bow-fronted cases. The curved glass acted like a magnifying lens while reducing surface glare, and features like mirrored interior backs, with leather, velvet or felt bases made luxury items (pocket watches, rings, brooches, and fine pens) catch the light and stand out to customers. 

This lovely countertop cabinet is in fantastic condition, has had some restoration but does not take away how lovely this little display cabinet really is, would make a lovely addition to any home or shop display.
