I'm leaning toward believing the left hand photo is the repro. But I could be wrong. The grille cloth on the left hand photo needs to be replaced (unless this is a reflection.) The photo on the right seems to have some wear marks, but that could be intentional. The trim color is correct on the right from other examples I have seen, but that doesn't mean the left hand photo is the original, and it was refinished.

I guess we all pretty much like to make old cbinets look like new. Lets see some views of the bottom and inside, then we'll know for sure. One thing about the cathedral shape is you never see a flowerpot ring on top.

Both examples are very nice though.
