A revamped cabinet...

Here's another cabinet of glass...this one I did a little work on last week...it's a 1930s Australian display cabinet (our own curious version of Art Deco, which was a bit behind the times & also influenced by other styles, but the familiar elements are there in the curved form) that was bought very cheaply as the mirror back was gone...obviously broken at some point...the Bakelite handle was damaged too.
Over the years I'd just stuck some light coloured fabric onto the backing board, but in my new place that just didn't cut it anymore. I had some spare white coated Masonite board that I'd gotten to back some open cube bookcases with, so I took off the old backing (found bits of broken mirror when it came away), cut out a new one & nailed it on. Quicker & cheaper than getting mirror cut to size & I'm pleased with the effect...against a white wall it blends seamlessly.
The old handle was replaced with a vintage milk glass knob found at an antiques fair.

Photo 1. On top is a millefiori glass epergne from the 1960s. This will be going on the dining table for Christmas with flowers in the 3 trumpets & sweet treats in the bowl. If anyone else out there in CW land owns an epergne I can highly recommend using it for a festive display as they look spectacular with flowers in - rather like a floral fireworks display.
Photo 2. There's a mixed bag of glass in the cabinet. I wanted to put together a theme for each shelf to try to tie disparate elements together visually.
Photo 3. Top shelf is all smaller sized glass hand vases, mostly mould blown but a few pressed ones too. Middle shelf is an assortment of Victoriana, linked by colour - ruby, pink, with touches of yellow & green, & most pieces with a nature inspired design - floriforms, palm tree, applied flowers, thorns, etc.
Photo 4. Bottom shelf has various fairy lamps & fairy lamp parts. Some are "marriages" I've put together from orphan parts, as fairy lamps are rather hard to find intact. You'll find domes without bases, & vice versa. In the centre is a large diamond quilted satin glass rose bowl with applied leaves - it looks Victorian but is a repro piece made in Italy in the 1960s. I had struggled to fit this in with other Victorian satin glass in my collection, but it seems to get along well enough with the fairy lamps, many of which are satin finished.
