It is mostly quarter-sawn oak on front. It has a curved glass door, 2 piece solid wood back, wood casters, & lion head engraving on top. It is about 5'8" tall & 3' wide.

Are you by chance in New England?
I'm in Texas.
Thanks for the reply. I asked because I wondered if you had bought one a friend of mine owned just like it. He is long gone now and probably in a better (although warmer) place. He inherited his from his parents who bought it when they got married. That was in the 1930's. His was sold a number of years ago and I was just curious what part of the country you might be in. Value on these went the same way as the economy but is making a come back. I keep an eye on it because I have one I plan to list when the market for them gets a bit stronger. Mine doesn't have the glass door but is a bit older and not as good shape. If you got this right you won't regret buying it.
Thank you very much for the info. Have a great day sir!
You are welcome. I have no idea if you follow my cantankerous replies. If you do, you know I normally ask people to open a drawer or a door and take a picture. You see years ago when oak was in low supply Ash wood was substituted and nobody knew the difference. There are many, many items on here listed as oak because grandma or a salesman said it was oak. It isn't worth the effort to tell them it isn't oak. Funny part is the Ash furniture commands 30% more than oak. There are only two ways to tell the difference in the two woods. You have one, Ash will never have a ripple or commonly called tiger grain.
Lovely gtex67, i like the bow front & odd shaped mirror. Fhr has helped me no end in determining wood types. He's a mine of info on wood & great asset to CW for anyone interested in it.
I have cabinet similar to yours. I found it interesting what "fhrjr2" stated on looking inside a drawer to inspect the wood used. Have never heard this before.
