I'm offering for sale a small red cupboard with a small mirror in the door. This cupboard dates from the late 19th century. These were mostly used for household items, storage of spices, etc.. There are three shelves inside, and there is no sign that it was ever hung on a wall. The mirror is cracked, but that just adds some charm. The inside of he door is painted blue. It possibly was simply set on a shelf or rested on top of a chest of drawers. It would be a great decorating piece on a powder room wall.
