Edwardian Art Nouveau Mahogany Music Sheet Cabinet Chest of 5 Drop Front Drawers

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Edwardian Art Nouveau Mahogany Music sheet Cabinet

A superb original music sheet cabinet, ideal accomplice to a piano.

We are delighted to present a superb, original Art Nouveau, Edwardian music sheet cabinet dating from the period of C1890. This high-quality piece is constructed from Mahogany that showcases its original French Polished finish with a rich, deep colour and is presented in excellent, home-ready condition. It is an ideal and elegant accomplice for a piano, offering unique and stylish storage for sheet music, periodicals, or filing.

The cabinet retains its original 'Stones Patent' drop-down mechanism to each drawer front. This allows the internal trays to fold forward smoothly upon opening, providing easy and quick access to the contents. The exterior design is classic of the Art Nouveau period, featuring five moulded drawer fronts complemented by original copper plated dropper handles. The cabinet stands gracefully on elegant Sqare tapering legs culminating to a pad foot with a shaped frieze between. The cabinet has lovely panelled sides, while the top has a lovely deep drop moulding and rear upstand.

As professional antique restorers and dealers, we have thoroughly checked over, cleaned, and waxed this cabinet, ensuring all joints are solid and the drop-down trays are working smoothly. It is ready to enhance any period or eclectic property. While minor surface blemishes are present and consistent with genuine antique age, we feel these only add to the charm and provenance of this beautiful and practical piece. All of the joints are solid, the drawers are working smoothly and are very clean inside.

Please note this item is in excellent condition for its age but will have the odd blemish here and there. However, we feel that adds to the charm of the item with it being an antique.

An Edwardian music cabinet is a specialised piece of storage furniture designed in the early 20th century specifically to hold bound and loose sheet music. Characterised by tall, slender proportions and fall-front drawers or doors, these cabinets allowed sheet music to lie flat and be retrieved easily without damage.

These pieces were typically constructed from fine dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring brass drop handles or stylized metalware. Internal drawer linings commonly used pine or oak with brass hinges designed to drop forward.

Authentic Edwardian cabinets generally feature fall-front drawer fronts that hinge downward, slender square tapering legs, and period-accurate brass hardware. Construction markers include hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, solid timber backboards, and Art Nouveau decorative influence in the metalwork.

Due to their narrow depth and vertical structure, music cabinets function effectively as hallway storage, bedside tables, or home office organisers for documents and stationery. The rich wood tones contrast well with neutral contemporary walls while providing functional storage.

Maintain the polished finish by dusting regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the wood grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and finish fading.
