I have a pair of these cabinets.  One of them has a crack in one of the panes of glass.  The top section comes apart from the base, but can be re-attached with a strip of metal that screws into both the top and bottom sections on two ends on the back.  In the base, there is a label attached to the inside of the drawer that says ‘Handcrafted in England by Trosby London and Atlanta.’  Inside, the shelves are held in place with strips of wood that fits into a zig zag pattern inside the cabinet.  Also, the cabinet shown has glass shelves, but I think this piece may have originally had wood shelves because in the second cabinet, I have glass shelves and one wood shelf.  I know no history behind it.  I would just like to know an approximate value of this piece.
