They are enameled metal and just out of my wheelhouse, saw them and looked nice so picked them up. Honestly never seen this style but both well made / finished so i don't believe they are "handmade". I haven't looked underneath them for any markings simply because i dont want mess them up so i figured i would ask before trying to look haha. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about them (period etc...) or seen them before? Thanks guys!

Not that I ever spent much time or money there, but reminiscent of the cosmetics department at Macy's ca. 1985. Do they reek of Chanel?

haha no, might give somewhere to start date wise. They are smaller than they look both are the exact same size @ 61" L x 29" H x 17" W. If they were in a retail environment they were never used they are in to good of shape inside.

Detail photos of hardware (hinges, latches, etc) and location might help. At 29"H x 61"W x 17"D they're too low and shallow for kitchen duty. Vaguely mauve/gold trim motif and rounded corners sure smacks of the '80's to me. Maybe parts of an office suite?
