Antique vitrine

Hi guys!

I consider buying this vitrine. Only problem is, the seller gives little to no information about it. Any idea how old it might be?

 

It has traditional design elements but doesn't look old because of the unusual door and parquetry.

 

It kind of looks like this one I found on the internet, except the missing carving on top

 

Without knowing anything about the particulars of this piece,Time to RUN, not walk away. Any seller who gives "little to no" info is not someone who you want to deal with.

 

Two lower shelves look to have been replaced.

 

Can't tell from this one pic. Comparing this small thing to that large armoire is not really helpful. Besides, styling really is quite different.

 

I found a few online, supposedly all 19th century.
As it appears it used to be an armoire turned into some bookshelfe thingy

 

The one recently posted is a very good match. It also looks like it could be small, just going off pictures. What is the size of the one you are considering? Any pic of the back?

 

Height 190cm width 100cm depth 45cm (which is a bit too much for a book shelf or anything like that?) so I guess the wood panels either got destroyed and replaced wit glass, or someone did it on purpose to display tableware in the dining room?
I found a whole bunch of similar ones on the internet, dating around 1860 to 1890.
No, I don't have a picture of the back but the seller said it's solid wood.

 

Taller than I thought based on the pic. Could be an armoire with removed panels. Not well versed in European furniture but, if American, would think last quarter of the 19th century.
