When this cabinet illustrated by M. Harris and Sons in their catalogue of the late 1920s it featured glazed doors (and there is evidence of the glazing bars). Griffiths presumably purchased the piece from Harris and incorporated the present mirrored doors which appear in the 1929 publication as well as his 1939 sale catalogue. Judge Untermyer prized the lots in his collection which shared the illustrious Percival Griffiths provenance.
