To hold all your treasures

Last October, I went to the store and saw this on the side of the road. I stopped looked at it, said no it's too much work and went to the store. On the way back I stopped again. The light was hitting the antique glass, the waves also shimmering. I texted my friend with a truck "can you help". While we were loading the owner who put it on the street comes out, talked to her for a bit, and then comes out with glass mosaic. I couldn't believe my luck. Anyways it sat in the shop for months. As I hummed and hawed about what to do. Finally, deciding to save only the glass case. Every single part has been taken apart, cleaned and reglued. I would say conservatively 80-100hrs of work has gone into getting it to this condition. But it sure is lovely and I'm pretty proud of myself to get it to this condition.

Art and crafts early 1900s glass display case with clear stained glass mosaic. Solid quarter saw oak throughout. Back is a period appropriate William and Morris wallpaper that is peel and stick if wanting to remove it. Completely repaired and refinished. 4 shelves that are very sturdy. This is lovely functional antique piece of furniture, that will require some care when using.

Some minor damage shows on one side nothing inconsistent with something for it's age.

One glass piece has a tiny chip in mosiac.

The door opens and closes however is sticky when closing as shown in video.
