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

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.

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.

I think I still like the original circular vase better, as makes a more traditional display.
I’d love to hear what my friends think? And customers.
I added photos of the circular vase and the last with the previous flowers.
