Description
I'm selling this antique cabinetMy understanding is that it is a rare Arts & Crafts era, Jacobean Revival style General Store tobacco and cigar cabinet that was manufactured for and distributed by Benson & Hedges. The measurements are 42 wide, 50 high and 24 deep
I believe it's walnut. It has one large front door that opens down with hinges. Inside are drawers and cubbies and a cooper box with door. It is on four legs. Under the main cabinet is one drawer with brass pulls.
On the interior of the copper cabinet door is a tag that says By Appointment To His Majesty The King, Benson & Hedges, London, New York, Montreal
Patented 1919
I see several condition issues with the piece
The top has some mottled white blotches
The interior copper box door is missing it's latch
I think the front door may be missing medallions
It doesn't have any keys
The interior drawer with circles sticks a bit but still pulls out completely
I do not know if the hardware is original
The door is currently removed to display the interior
The original door hinges have been replaced
