<p>[QUOTE="wotacroc, post: 430718, member: 9171"]Hi Peter and others, I hope you can help with identifying this piece, I can't find any similar pictures of it and don't know what it is called, or what it was used for.</p><p>(Pic1) I think the wood is mahogany. Cabriole legs. (Pic2) Note carry handles, top door closed to left, note small button knob to lift door, other side is open box. (Pic3) Lid rolls over 180degrees and sits flush on other side, note button knob handle on this side as well. On this side of the door there is a 3 sided rectangular slide (to hold something?) 6" x 3". Beside that is a short 2" hollowed out piece of wood with a spring loaded ball at the centre to hold something else? Also from this view note the low partition board on LHS making a 2 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" high compartment. The floor of the larger compartment is also a hinged door. See (Pic4) Hinged door with small hook clasps on the inside is open.</p><p>(Pic5) End view of cabinet with bottom door open. (Pic6) Brass ??? decorating all around. (Pic7) Bit wobbly Crown emblem burned into bottom of cabinet. Appears to be a very well made piece, all joints etc are good and tight doors etc fit snug. Can you please help with any info, that would be great. cheers Wotacroc[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
