Antique Golden Oak Four Drawer Filing Cabinet by Yawman & Erbe, C.1910

A rare double width antique quarter-sawn oak filing cabinet dating to c.1910. Made by Yawman and Erbe, a leading maker of early filing systems, it has four large drawers with original brass handles, name plates, rods for guides/indexes and moveable wooden compressors for keeping folders upright in the drawers. With attractive panelled sides and on a stand this would look good both at home or in the office and as it is a stacking design more sections could be added if found.

In very good condition and sturdy construction, one brass guide rod is missing but it has fabulous golden/honey colour and tiger pattern to the grain, some marks, wear & fading as should be expected for the age and slight waving to bottom right drawer front.

The overall dimensions at the largest points are approximately

Width - 34 1/8in (84cm)

Depth - 25 1/2in (64.5cm)

Height - 49in (124.5cm)

Internal drawer size - 15 1/8in wide x 22 3/8in deep x 10 7/8in high (38.5cm x 57.5cm x 27.5cm)

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
