FAQs

An antique plan chest, also known as a map cabinet or flat file cabinet, is a specialised piece of furniture designed with wide, shallow drawers originally used by architects, draughtsmen, and cartographers to store drawings, maps, and prints flat without folding.

Traditional plan chests were typically constructed from robust hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or pitch pine to support substantial weight, and were commonly fitted with metal shell cup handles and brass or iron index label holders on the drawer fronts.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, solid timber drawer bases rather than modern plywood, original cast or stamped metal hardware, and natural signs of historical wear or ink marks consistent with commercial studio use.

A plan chest provides versatile flat surface area and storage in contemporary spaces, serving as a functional kitchen island, low coffee table, or studio storage unit for artwork, textiles, and large prints.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to avoid timber shrinkage, clean surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish along the grain to protect the timber and retain its patinated finish.
