Description

Vintage Mexican Embossed Tin & Glass Display Cabinet — Hexagonal, 19 1/2"

Vintage Mexican embossed tin and glass display cabinet in a striking hexagonal form. Handcrafted in the traditional hojalata style, this piece showcases detailed floral embossing, beaded trim, and a domed top that lends it a lantern-like silhouette. The front glass door opens to reveal two fixed interior shelves—ideal for displaying miniatures, fetishes, or other small collectibles—while a lower compartment provides additional enclosed space.

A fine example of Mexican folk metalwork, this cabinet combines decorative artistry with everyday functionality. Its reflective tin finish and intricate repoussé patterning make it a standout accent in bohemian, rustic, or eclectic interiors, suitable for tabletop display or as part of a curated collection.

Condition:

Good condition overall, with minor loss to finish consistent with age and use. No damage to the glass panels; both doors open and close properly.

Dimensions:

Overall: 19 1/2" H × 7" W × 6" D
Glass panel door conceals (2) fixed shelves (each approx. 2 1/2" height).
Lower compartment: 3 3/4" H × 6" W.
