A Very Good Quality c.1890 Mahogany Shop Counter Display Cabinet by H.Mills Shop Fitter, London

Origin: EnglishPeriod: Late Nineteenth CenturyProvenance: UnknownDate: c.1880-1900Height: 30.25 inchesWidth: 26.75 inchesDepth: 23.75 inches (at maximum)The heavy quality glazed five sided display cabinet with panelled & mirrored rear door under a moulded cornice, the whole with a further mirrored base having a velvet surround, the solid mahogany carcass enclosing two adjustable fitted glass shelves, with ivorine makers plaque to the lower moulded plinth base reading ‘H.Mills - Shop Fitter… ?? Street London E8?’ survives from an English shop front during the late nineteenth century.The original heavy plate mirror glass has a good amount of foxing but nothing of concern and decoratively she is splendid. There is a square of discolouration to the reverse where there was obviously a trade sign placed on it which has since been removed so the mahogany to this small section is of a different colour. The carcass in general has only a little movement, with one or two small hairline cracks
