Antique Early 20th Century Large Wood Specimen Collectors Filing Drawer Cabinet
A highly practical and characterful early 20th century specimen collector’s filing cabinet, crafted in stained pine and designed with multiple shallow drawers with glazed protective tops for organised storage of specimens or small collectibles.
Originally made for scientific, geological, botanical, or entomological use, the cabinet features a robust, well-proportioned form with smoothly sliding drawers, each fitted with original handles.
The aged wood surface displays a rich, time-worn patina, reflecting decades of use and adding to its authentic period charm.
This versatile piece is equally well suited for modern use as an artist’s plan chest, jewellery or watch storage, archive cabinet, or for collectors seeking distinctive and functional antique furniture. It has previously been used for egg storage with the vintage labels still attached from the previous owner.
Condition: Good antique condition with age-related wear, marks, and patina consistent with original use. One drawer missing the glass top. No keys.
