The cabinet is a reproduction of pieces typically produced in Shanxi province in central China for hundreds of years and includes shaped brass hardware on the doors.

A further removable shelf hides a 'secret' compartment behind the bottom panel. Great as a drinks cabinet, for a TV or for general storage in a reception room or bedroom - if you would prefer a hanging rail to be fitted to use the cabinet as a wardrobe then please let us know and we can arrange this.
