The interior has been lined with satin birch veneer. There is a strip light fitted to the top rear operated by a push button the turns the light on when the door is opened.

This lovely large flame mahogany cocktail cabinet remains in very good solid condition with only very minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is a small amount of wear to the surface finish on some of the door edge beadings. There are some slightly scratched areas to the outer sides and the internal top cupboard has a few minor surface marks to the lower panel from past use.
This remains a very stylish and elegant large cocktail cabinet which will continue to provide good service for many years to come.
