Turn of the Century French Flat File Drawer Chest

About the Item

A nostalgic patina gives this Industrial flat file cabinet a one-of-a-kind personality. Built in France at the turn of the century, the spacious cabinet houses an array of long, slender drawers — a shape which indicates that this piece was likely originally used in an architect’s or draftsman’s office to store drawings and plans. Brass label holders in the center of each drawer would have served to carefully organize the contents within. The painted surface of the cabinet has worn to a distressed patina of periwinkle blue and pale turquoise, while the drawers themselves have a natural russet finish, creating an eye-catching contrast of colors and textures.
