    Hey again!

    Do any of you have any idea how old this fine showcase is? It was found in Slovenia, but maybe it came from former Austro - Hungarian space. I think that it is from the late 19. century, because of the "onion" legs, but maybe it is even older? I tried to find some similar but i am a bit sceptic about age on those that i found...
    For every help and thought I will be grateful.

    If from the late 19th century, it was very old fashioned, so I'd venture a little earlier--But the glass looks new, though.

    It may not be visible in the pictures, but the glass has a lot of irregularities, which means that it is old ... even the mirrors on the back are supposed to be original ... which can be seen in thickness - on the upper sides it is thinner than below

    Yes luckily it's mine :) we like to do our best with pictures, but here is one original because they were photoshopped, lack of space.. DSC_0719 (Small).JPG

    All I know is it sure is pretty! It was born to hold crystal from the looks of it.

    I would have expected the glass to be beveled, that's all. Very nice.

    The silver lining where you are is that there is no chance of it being a 1950s revival!
