Egyptianesque carved parcel gilt and polychrome sarcophagus form bookcase, King Tut, 20th c., hinged side opening to interior glass shelves, approx 76.25"h, 20.5"w, 21.5"d
In my opinion regarding LOT: 2102- The bookcase stands sturdy, however I suggest securing it to a wall, it becomes top heavy when the door is opened, hinges operate correctly however show signs of wear from opening/pulling, a small chain has been added to to interior to catch the door, however I would still strongly suggest securing to the wall, the finish is with both intentional distressing likely to give the appearance of age, and some finish wear, rubs and nicks, from use, interior glass shelves are intact, interior further shows some light scattered finish wear, the lower rear/back corner shows wear at edge, please see attached images for your review
