It is from the family of Bear Grylls, famous British explorer, adventurer. international speaker, and star of a popular television series ("Born Survivor" in the UK, and "Man vs. Wild" in the USA). His late grandfather, Brigadier William Edward Harvey Grylls, was the original owner. The Harvey Nichols depository label printed with his name is on the back of the cabinet.

The interior is divided by a curved adjustable shelf with moulded edge. It is as well made as the exterior. The doors open with full length piano hinges.
The top is beautifully inlaid with triangular pieces.
Size- 34 inches wide, by 18 inches deep, by 34 inches high.
With key, a stunning very versatile cabinet to use as a server, sideboard, drinks cabinet, or lamp table.
In excellent condition with beautiful colour, and a wonderful provenance, this piece will look at home in contemporary decor, or mixed with other antiques.
