Side by side curved glass china cabinet
Quarter sawn tiger oak side by side china cabinet. On the left hand side, it features two drawers, a double door cabinet with one shelf, a table top, and a flying rounded cabinet with curved glass door and walls and a mirrored back. On the right hand side, there's a curved glass cabinet door with removable shelves inside, glass walls, and a wood back. According to the previous owner, above this left side cabinet there was at one time a half mirror attached to the back but it has since broken off and been lost. In two places on this cabinet, there is a carved signature reading "LK". There have not been any stamps or other markings observed. It stands 5' 8.5" tall, 4' 7" wide, and 22" deep.
