The lower section comprises a cupboard with twin sliding doors providing open storage. The piece is raised on four black-painted tapered and splayed legs. Hardware includes two curved brass-toned metal loop handles to the fall-front and two recessed oval-shaped metal finger pulls to the lower doors. No maker’s marks or factory stamps are visible.
