Description

An attractive Scottish oak filing cabinet bearing the maker’s plate of Francis Smith, Cabinet Maker, 71 Mitchell Street, Glasgow. Dating to approximately 1890–1910, this four-drawer cabinet combines practical storage with the rich colour and distinctive grain of figured oak.

Raised-panel drawer fronts are fitted with metal label holders and substantial brass-toned pull handles. The panelled sides and shaped cornice give the cabinet a finished architectural presence, while dovetailed drawer construction speaks to the care taken in its making. A warm aged finish highlights the oak’s pronounced figuring.

Originally intended for office filing, this antique oak cabinet would make useful storage in a home office, studio, library or retail interior. Its narrow, upright proportions provide generous drawer storage within a modest footprint.
