Unusual late 18th century Dutch walnut and marquetry inlaid wall mounting display cabinet

Eddie and I were searching for some way of entering the top section before hanging, so we can use the unused space for added display.
We were searching for sliding front or side shaped moulds, maybe the backboard pulled off? But that wouldn’t make any sense.
We opened the door, seeing if the top slid away, once again didn’t make any sense, but you never know unless you search…
Finally we pulled the central top away, revealing fine nails from only a few decades ago.
There’s no need to secure this curved top section, so we removed the nails.
