The self-confident client may have been their commander. Accordingly, the frame and head consist of approximately 30 cm wide oak planks. Also, all other parts of the cabinet, even the rear panel, are also made of solid oak. Amazingly good condition. No wood pests, all wooden parts free of irregular warping. The hinges of the doors and the door lock indicate a revision from about 100 years ago, in which all surfaces were varnished in dark brown, making the grain even clearer. After a century of use, the glaze is slightly worn off on some edges, giving the cabinet a unique and inimitable patina in this way.
