Description

An Unusual Gothic Revival Oak Folio Cabinet

In the manner of Charles Bevan

Designed with beauty and practicality in mind, the free-standing oak cabinet supported on brass castors; each corner with carved columns flanking the panelled front and back decorated with geometric inlays in the style of Charles Bevan and set with brass loop handles, hinged to reveal oak-lined interiors; the sliding top enables a telescoping easel mechanism to rise above the cabinet when in use. Stamped “B. Taylor & Sons / 97 New Bond … London.”

English, circa 1870

Dimensions: H: 39 in / 100 cm | W: 42 in / 107 cm | D: 22 in / 56 cm

The cabinet stands 60 in / 152 cm high when fully open

This cabinet is sold in its current original, unrestored condition. Please contact us for further information.

B. Taylor & Sons (fl.1805-c.1872)

Benjamin Taylor & Sons is recorded at various addresses starting in Southwark in 1805. He is listed at 97 New Bond Street by 1871, and advertises under the same address in 1872 as “cabinet makers, etc” on the occasion of the London International Exhibition. An imposing, 24 foot long, mahogany bookcase with unusual hinging mechanism was delivered by the firm to Moor Place in Hertforshire, where it still stands in the library today.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A folio cabinet is a specialised piece of library furniture designed during the nineteenth century to store, protect, and display oversized prints, maps, and artwork, frequently featuring an adjustable upper easel.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid oak or walnut, featuring timber marquetry, carved detailing, and durable brass hardware built to withstand the weight of heavy paper portfolios.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved Gothic motifs, geometric timber inlays, heavy-duty mechanical ratchets or easel supports, and occasionally maker stamps from prominent Victorian cabinetmakers.

A folio cabinet works effectively in a study, home library, or wide hallway, where the adjustable top frame can be utilised to display large art volumes, prints, or architectural plans.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a quality beeswax polish periodically, ensuring the item is positioned away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid cracking.
