Description

A beautiful and very versatile, highly figured honduras mahogany 18 drawer collectors cabinet circa 1870.

This top quality cabinet is built with mahogany throughout and has 18 deep drawers, all with closely fitting glazed frame tops. Based on four bun feet.

Originally designed to accommodate a collection of british butterflies it will now serve a multitude of collecting pursuits.

For the entomologist the drawers will easily take full length continental pins, (1.5 inches cork to glass), and for those who collect other types of small item and wish to protect and display, it is ideal.

Original lock and key and shoot bolts to the left door.

I commend this cabinet for both practicality and aesthetic beauty.

FAQs

Victorian collectors cabinets were crafted during the 19th century to house growing private collections of natural history specimens, coins, and antiquities, reflecting the eras fascination with science and classification.

These cabinets are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak, featuring meticulously joined small drawers, often lined with paper or felt, and fitted with brass handles and lockable doors.

Authenticity is determined by period-correct timber, hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brass hardware, aged patination, and construction methods consistent with 19th-century cabinet making.

It can be placed on a sturdy surface or console table in a study or living area to serve as a focal point, utilizing the flat top and drawers to display curated objects or store small items.

Preserve the wood by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent warping, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish.
