    What type of cabinet do y'all think these are? They came from a consigner in the NW, United States. They are made of mahogany and measure approximately 45" tall x 23-1/2" wide x 24" deep. Thank you! 143_1.jpg 143_2.jpg 143_3.jpg 143_5.jpg 149_1.jpg 149_2.jpg 149_3.jpg 149_5.jpg

    I don't know but do the tops flip open? I absolutely love them.

    Record cabinets - 4 the 78rpm type recordings. The shelves seem widely spaced for that. I'm getting a 1920s Great Gatsby vibe, but I'm not one of the furniture peeps.

    Maybe they are just jam confit cupboards.

    Agree with @moreotherstuff. Beautiful mahogany veneers!

    Hey McLaren: Did you sell that rocker you asked us about a few months ago? What was the price?

    Record cabinets have vertical sections and the records are stored on their edges.

    Over here they would be known as a Smokers Cabinet.

    I'm not tied at the hip to music cabinet. I suggested it because I have this cabinet, which belonged to an aunt:

    The shelves are horizontal, but they are also less substantial and more closely spaced.

    Cabinet above is a sheet music cabinet. Op's cabinets look like silver/linen storage cabinets.
