Handsome early 20th century oak tambour filing cabinet with a beautifully patinated sliding shutter and a bank of shallow pull-out trays inside. The oak grain is lovely and lively, and the simple, vertical proportions give it a refined, old-money / library feel that works just as well in a modern home office, hallway or living room as it once did in a clerk’s office or shop. The shutter rolls smoothly up into the top, revealing fitted trays with brass label holders – perfect for papers, art supplies, vinyl, or as a discreet home bar.

The cabinet measures approximately 110cm high x 51cm wide x 41cm deep (about 43¼" x 20" x 16"). It has a decorative brass escutcheon to the top and comes with a key; the lock engages and the shutter closes securely. The footprint is compact but it offers a surprising amount of organised storage.

Condition is solid and very usable with the kind of surface wear you’d expect from an antique working piece: marks and scuffs to the oak, small knocks at the edges, some wear and staining to the tray bottoms and age-toning to the brass fittings, all shown in the photos and consistent with age. Overall it presents wonderfully – a proper character piece that instantly gives a room that “old study” atmosphere.
