FAQs

During the 1930s, offices and institutions heavily relied on physical filing systems, leading to the creation of modular wooden cabinets with alphabetical indexing to organise paperwork efficiently.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring mortise and tenon joinery, brass or iron hardware, and hand-painted or stenciled lettering.

Authenticity is identified through period-correct joinery, natural timber oxidation, period fixings like slotted screws, and genuine wear patterns consistent with decades of institutional use.

It can be integrated into a home office or living space as a focal point for storage, contrasting effectively against neutral walls and pairing well with modern minimalist decor.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and periodically applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
