This Edwardian filing cabinet originates from the 1900s and is constructed from rich warm brown timber, standing on a simple plinth base. The rectangular top sits above three vertical columns of ten small drawers, creating a thirty-drawer configuration arranged in neat symmetry. Every drawer features an integrated brass handle and label holder, displaying visible signs of age and handling through its patinated metal hardware and polished timber surfaces. Measuring 99 cm high, 112 cm wide and 33 cm deep, the piece offers a low-profile storage solution with a substantial footprint. Designed for organisational utility, this architectural storage unit suits a home office, study or library setting. The narrow depth allows it to sit flush against a wall without dominating the floor space, functioning as a practical repository for stationery, small collections or documents. Its period aesthetic brings industrial character and traditional craftsmanship to domestic interiors, serving as both a functional workspace accessory and a historical focal point.

FAQs

An Amberg patent cabinet letter file is a late nineteenth and early twentieth-century document storage unit designed by Cameron Amberg & Co. It utilises a system of indexed individual drawers to organise paper records alphabetically or chronologically.

Cabinets from this era were primarily crafted from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined with traditional joinery methods and fitted with cast brass hardware and index label frames.

Authentic pieces feature stamped brass makers plates, original index label holders, uniform drawer construction with dovetailed joints, and age-appropriate wear to the timber finish.

These cabinets serve as focal storage units in home offices, living rooms, or hallways, providing practical storage for smaller personal items, paperwork, or crafting materials.

Dust the surfaces regularly with a dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber, keeping the cabinet away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
