NEW FINDS I PICKED UP TODAY!!!!
#4

I far prefer the 118 cabinet to the rarer 19X. It has so much more style than most of it's lowboy (highboy? never can tell the difference) brethren. From the decoish bars on the top to the wooden waterfall at the bottom it has unique detail without being overly ornate. I wonder if the columns are a nod to the period obsession with bamboo.

In comparison the 19X looks uninspired on top, supported by generic columns and I think the indented space below gives an awkward perspective. Of course rarity has an attraction all it's own. Two great finds for sure.
