Early 20th Century Tiger Oak Library Cabinet

About the Item

c. 1920s; The Library Bureau - Boston, MA Antique oak library cabinet and chest of drawers. This eye-catching number was salvaged from a former life of being covered in blue paint. When this piece came to us, we had no idea that there was this much being hidden behind a coat of lead paint. But thanks to our crack team of shop boys, the paint was stripped and the finish was restored, bringing back this piece to its original glory. The top half features a large storage space with shelving hidden behind double doors; the front latch unlocks the right side and the left can be opened by flipping the interior latch within. The bottom half boasts 24 drawers of uniform size with brass nameplates and what appear to be be copper pulls. Exhibits minor signs of wear including some scuffs and scratches (mostly interior as the exterior was restored in-shop) and verdigris on the copper. 49.5" W x 16.5" D x 60" H Drawers (x24): 10.25" W x 14" D x 2.5" H Cabinet: 48" W x 14" D x 29" H AF - 10468 - 110624

Dental Cabinet, Early 20th Century
Located in Wrocław, Poland
This stunning Dental Cabinet was possibly manufactured in USA by Lee Smith & Sons in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notable for its distinctive nickel hinges and trim, as well as the iconic swing-out drawers synonymous with Lee Smith & Sons, this piece stands as a testament to an era of unparalleled craftsmanship. The piece is made of solid wood (and is pretty heavy). Adorned with twelve meticulously nickel-plated swing-out drawers, complemented by two discreet blind doors below and two elegant glass doors above, further enhanced by an extendable top this cabinet exudes both functionality and elegance. The piece was gently restored, wooden elements were cleaned and finished with high quality wax, nickeled metal parts remain in beautiful original vintage condition. A very unique and rare treasure that will be an unusual element of any original interior such as loft, barber shop etc. Among traders called the Holy Grail of antique medical furniture...
