Antique Edwardian Mahogany Music Sheet Cabinet Chest of 5 Drop Front Drawers C1900

1900 - 1920
Description

Antique Edwardian Mahogany Music sheet Cabinet

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

We are delighted to present a superb, original Edwardian music sheet cabinet dating from the period of C1900. This high-quality piece is constructed from Mahogany that showcases a rich, deep colour and is presented in excellent, home-ready condition following a careful clean and wax in our workshop. 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 uniform drawer front, fitted with their original brass dropper handles . This allows the internal trays to fold forward smoothly upon opening, providing easy and quick access to the contents . The exterior design features five matching drawer fronts complemented by the original brass drop hardware . The cabinet stands gracefully on square section supports with an open under tier shelf below, offering additional display or storage space, united by a subtly curved lower frieze . The sides are cleanly panelled, and the top features a plain, flat surface with a neat moulded edge .

As professional antique restorers and dealers, we have thoroughly checked over, cleaned, and waxed this cabinet, lightly polishing its original brass hardware and 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 produced during the early 20th century, typically designed with shallow drawers or fall-front compartments specifically sized to store printed sheet music flat.

These cabinets were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often featuring brass drop handles, fall-front drawer mechanisms, and lower display shelves.

Authentic pieces generally feature lightweight drop-front drawer mechanisms held by side straps or brass hinges, hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and slim, tapered or splayed legs typical of the 1901 to 1910 period.

A music cabinet serves well as a compact side table, nightstand, or hallway organiser, offering specialised shallow drawer storage for paperwork, art supplies, or small household items.

Maintain mahogany cabinets by dusting regularly with a soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the wood grain annually, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators.
