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 tambour front filing cabinet features a flexible shutter door composed of narrow wooden slats mounted on flexible backing, sliding along internal grooves to conceal or reveal document drawers. Popularised in commercial offices during the early 20th century, these units provided secure and space-saving paper management.

Cabinets from this era were predominantly constructed using solid oak or oak veneers, paired with brass fittings such as index card holders and lock escutcheons. The interior drawers were frequently crafted with integrated cut-out handles and wooden sliding tracks designed for daily commercial usage.

Authentic examples feature traditional joinery, original brass hardware displaying age-appropriate patina, and wooden slats fitted into side routing channels. Examining the drawer trays for vintage card holders or manufacturer stamps helps confirm historical authenticity.

These cabinets serve as functional storage solution in modern home offices, hallways, or living areas to house paperwork, art supplies, or electronic accessories. Placing a modern table lamp or ceramic objects on top creates a balanced contrast between utilitarian history and current design.

Clean surfaces using a dry microfiber cloth, periodically applying a quality beeswax polish to preserve the wood grain. Ensure the tambour runner grooves remain clear of debris, applying clear paraffin wax or beeswax along the tracks to ensure smooth vertical operation.
