Estate Office Mahogany Filing Cabinet

1900 - 1920

Sold by D and A Binder Ltd

Description

A fabulous 1920s estate-office mahogany filing cabinet, built for the organising and managing legal papers, records, and confidential correspondence. Standing in two parts with a lovey refined cornice and strong architectural lines, it has the presence and scale associated with early 20th-century administrative furniture.

The upper section houses an impressive bank of pigeonholes, while the lower doors open to deeper storage compartments and two central drawers originally designated for Estate Accounts and the Staff Ledger.

Both practical and highly decorative, this is a striking statement piece for a study, library, home office, or retail environment.

The painted titles and gilded lettering appear to be hand-applied and are most likely a recent addition.
