Oak China Cabinet with Secret Compartment

Circa: 1900

Delightful Triple Mirrored Gallery Original Finish Quartered Oak China Cabinet with serpentine front door. It has it’s original full length thick beveled mirrored back (it is unusual that this would be beveled) and heavy plate glass shelves.
The gallery is on two levels with a pretty shaped original top mirror and two original side mirrors. In the center is a carved lion head with delicate scroll carvings and an urn with full length rope twist columns on the side stiles. Underneath the top mirror is a hidden compartment that looks like it was custom made (see photos).
The lid has a slight age warp but still works fine and we have the old key that opens and locks the hidden compartment easily. This is quite an unusual and very useful feature for a china cabinet!
