As I recall the only embellishment on the outside edges was slight rounding over to remove the arris and the outer corner where all three pieces met similarly softened. My memory may be playing tricks because it was close to fifty years back, but unobtrusive moulding of some sort would make sense even for Victorians with their penchant for overblown decoration, because the display items would be inside the case rather than the case itself being the display item. And, yes, you're right, the moulding or section profile illustrated in the Joyce image includes a rebate for installing glass. Slainte.We're the victorian showcases curved in that way? Or was it just a neat corner.
