    Hi

    I am after some information on the Glass Display cabinet in the photos.
    It is a 3 legged cabinet, with curved glass sides and glass shelves.

    Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Sadly your pictures are very small & of poor quality. I've tried to fiddle a bit with one but there isn't much to work with.

    Nice 'bent glass' display case, although I don't see the shelving in it, which it usually has!! Better lit images would show it off better. Tagging @verybrad & @Ghopper1924 for starters!! Around late 1800s. They're nice cabinets.....until you break one of the bent pieces of glass.....then they get a bit pricey to replace!!! They come in many styles and shapes, from simple to more ornate, Oak wood is fairly common!! If you check on ebay.com for prices, be sure to check the SOLD PRICES!!!

    Thank you for your reply,

    The glass shelves had been taken out at the time of the photos for moving purposes.

    Early 1900s - 1920s.
    Appears to be veneered.
    Curved glass china display.
    Nice, functional display, but rather plain compared to some others.

    … and short. Most are taller. Agree with an early 1900s date. Definitely not oak. Can't tell if veneer or not from this photo. Either way, not the best example of this type of cabinet. Certainly would be a nice functional piece, so has that going for it.

    Yep, unusually short and unusually late for this form. I'd go more toward the latter date on Cluttered's timeline; 1920s, possibly even 30s. Guessing walnut veneer. Love the glass; here's hoping it never breaks! :)
