The piece measures 84 cm high, 51 cm wide and 41 cm deep. Practical storage dimensions make this cabinet suitable for holding sheet music, stationery or small accessories in a study, music room or living area.

FAQs

An Edwardian music cabinet is a specialised piece of storage furniture produced during the reign of King Edward VII (19011910). Designed specifically to hold loose sheet music, these cabinets typically feature shallow fall-front drawers or internal slides that tilt downward when opened to facilitate easy access to paper sheets.

These cabinets were predominantly constructed using dark timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood. Internal drawer sides and slides often utilized lighter secondary woods like pine or oak, accompanied by brass drop handles and brass side stay hinges for the drop-front mechanism.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction markers, including hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer casings, natural wood oxidation on untreated surfaces, and brass drop-front mechanism hardware. The proportion tends to be slender with clean lines, square tapered legs, or subtle Art Nouveau or Sheraton revival influence.

In contemporary settings, music cabinets serve effectively as bedside tables, side tables in a hallway, or office storage for modern documents, prints, and stationery. The flat top surface provides space for table lamps or decorative objects.

Maintain mahogany timber by dusting regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a pure beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent timber movement, drying, or uneven fading of the original finish.
