The sculpturally shaped top with 5 circular inlaid Abalone details & 2 diamond shaped Abalone inlays all united by beautiful Ebony string inlays with 14 further Abalone inlaid diamonds 7 to each door & Ebony string inlay & Ebonised detailing to the outer edge of each door & to the inner glazing bars & all the glass has a wonderful Green tinge to it & fully adjustable shelves inside.
