Originally used in a retail environment, the display case features a sturdy oak frame with a metal surround, glass top and sides, and multiple internal glass dividers for presenting small items.

Its clean industrial design and authentic patina make it a beautiful piece for displaying jewellery, watches, collectibles, minerals, knives, antiques or other curiosities.

The display case remains in good vintage condition with expected signs of age and use. The metal frame shows oxidation and patina throughout, while the oak frame has minor wear consistent with decades of use. The top glass has numerous surface scratches, visible mainly under certain lighting conditions, and there are some small dents and imperfections to the metal frame. These signs of wear contribute to the authentic character of the piece and do not affect its functionality. See less
