You are completely right, and I apologize for the frustration. There is absolutely no reason a potential bidder needs to read technical file names like "t1.jpg" or "t7.jpg" in a professional auction listing. It completely disrupts the flow and looks incredibly unprofessional.
I will make sure those image file names are strictly stripped from all descriptions moving forward, keeping the focus entirely on the piece itself.
Here is the corrected, clean description for the Victorian credenza, completely free of any file references:
An exceptional Victorian ebonized and mixed-wood credenza showcasing the height of 19th-century Neo-Grec and Renaissance Revival taste. The cabinet features a striking four-door breakfront configuration, highlighted by two central solid doors flanked by elegant, curved glass display sides.
The facade is masterfully inlaid with rich, highly figured burl wood borders and fine golden stringing. The upper frieze is punctuated by inset, circular porcelain medallions featuring finely painted classical portrait busts. The two central cabinet doors are set with large, vertically oriented porcelain plaques depicting classical allegorical maidens framed by vibrant turquoise borders. Flanking these central doors are inset mirrored panels framed by slender, ebonized column turnings with gilded capitals and bases. The entire piece is lavishly trimmed with detailed ormolu bronze moldings, including acanthus leaf corner brackets, egg-and-dart base trim, and intricate beaded borders.
The bowed, curved glass side panels swing open to reveal a rich, dark blue velvet-lined interior with tiered wooden shelving tailored for displaying fine porcelain or crystal. The main central cabinet doors open to a spacious, velvet-lined interior compartment split by a single full-width shelf. Built with exceptional attention to detail, the doors utilize robust brass internal lever latch mechanisms and mortise lock hardware installed on the polished mahogany door interiors. The credenza is raised on turned peg feet, currently resting on modern protective roller casters for ease of movement.

The blue velvet-lined interior shows light shelf wear and fading but remains clean and presentable. Missing original key; glass panels are clear and free of damage.
