Description from the seller
It's a filing cabinet that preserves that sober, practical air of the mid-20th century, when the office still had a bit of workshop to it and wood continued to assert itself over metal. The oak, with its clear and straight grain, gives it a calm, almost domestic presence, as if decades had passed accompanying routines, papers and hands that opened it without hurry. The two drawers maintain balanced proportions, with the metal handles and label holders that add a discreetly industrial touch, very typical of the era when functionality was the aesthetic.
The central lock —with its keys still in place— reinforces that sense of a serious object, designed to guard important documents, contracts, correspondence or personal files. It isn't furniture that seeks to draw attention, but one that conveys reliability, stability and a certain silent dignity. Its straightforward design, without superfluous adornments, places it at that point where modernity began to assert itself, but without wholly renouncing the warmth and nobility of solid wood.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
