A shelved cupboard with wooden sliding doors, a display cabinet with adjustable glass shelf and sliding glass doors, along with eight shelves of varying sizes, one being a lectern shelf for magazines, books or paperwork. The cabinets are simply hung from pins, whilst the shelves are hung from metal hangers that attach through the holes that run the full length of the four uprights. This modular arrangement comprises of 15 pieces (including the uprights) and will need an 8ft wall to display as seen in the images. The setup is in nice period condition, showing little wear.
