About the Item

We offer this fantastic Dentist's or medical cabinet in wood and metal dating to circa 1910 by Arnold Biber, Pforzheim Germany, in excellent condition. The unique style of the sculpted top and swing-out trays were this companies signature trademarks. Most cabinets of this type were all metal. The combination of wood and metal in it's construction makes this a very desirable and early example for this look. For the seasoned collector it's considered an important transition piece between the 1800s oak cabinets and the 20th century steel. There are 12 nickel plated swing out draws, two blind doors below, and two glass doors above. An exceptional piece considered the holy grail of dental cabinets, recently restored by professionals.
