Tambour Base Cabinet Appraisal

Vintage Oak Two-Door Etched Glass Gun Cabinet with Tambour Base

This is a tall, upright gun cabinet constructed from solid oak and oak veneers, likely dating from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The upper section features two long glass doors with a decorative arched top design. The glass panels are notably embellished with detailed white etched decorative scenes depicting deer in a forest setting, a popular motif for sporting furniture of this era. The doors are secured with brass-toned hardware and integrated locks, showing some surface oxidation. The interior appears to be felt-lined to protect up to 8-10 long guns. Below the main display is a unique 'roll-top' or tambour-front storage compartment, which provides a concealed space for ammunition and cleaning supplies. The cabinet sits on a slightly flared base with a scalloped apron. Overall condition appears good with heavy wood grain character and a warm medium-oak finish. Minor surface scuffs are visible near the base and along the edges, consistent with household use. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced American furniture, showing sturdy joinery and functional mechanical parts for the tambour door.
