'Jewel' is a stunning antique Display Cabinet with elegant lines.  I believe it to be an early 1900’s mahogany display case.  It has been lovingly updated in Ash Fusion Mineral Paint and varnished to give it a dead flat finish.  The back has been covered with black/grey mottled velvet fabric with beautiful jewel coloured iridescent beetles (Beetle Jewels by Woodchip and Magnolia). The beading on the glass doors, legs and decorative aprons have been enhanced with gold metallic leaf.  The glass itself in the doors and sides is in very good antique condition with no obvious scratches or chips.  The interior has been cleaned and restored and it is in good vintage condition and the base is protected by acrylic that has been gold leafed on the reverse. The lock and catches are original. 
This piece would make a wonderful display cabinet for china or glass or as a very cool Cocktail Cabinet to show off all those special cocktail glasses and equipment (that’s what I would use it for!). 
This piece has been sensitively updated, it still shows signs of its vintage heritage but retains all of its charm. Please see all photos.
 
Although I endeavour to capture the best photographs possible it is not always easy to portray colours accurately and avoid reflections, probably due to my lack of expertise as a photographer!
