Read moreOriginal Mid Century Index Card Cabinet Coffee / Side Table
£0FREE Delivery on this item. Some further afield and rural areas will incur a charge.
An original, circa late 1940’s to early 1950’s, index card cabinet in mahogany. This gorgeous cabinet is presented in its original frame work and drawer fronts with perfectly aged original brass label holder handles. The ornate brass handles and label holders are amongst the best we have seen. Six of the 15 drawers even have the original hand typed labels still present. We mounted the cabinet on original brass castor wheels to make it a very usable movable coffee table/ side table/ lamp table etc. Or even a bedside table with a real difference?
Because the outside finish, including the back, is in such good condition for its age, we thought it would make a perfect little coffee table – with some very useful storage below. Clearly it could also be used as just a side table, a plant stand, 15 bottle wine rack, towel bale table in a bathroom etc etc.
It now offers an unusual coffee table to let you stand out from the crowd with original and beautiful antique styling.
Dimensions: 83cm Wide, 43.5cm Deep, 42.5cm High.

Read more1930’s Filing and Index Card cabinet in Oak by Globe Wernicke
£0FREE Delivery on this item. More remote and rural locations will incur a charge.
We are very pleased to be able to bring this rare antique piece to our website. It is simply stunning. Manufactured by Globe Wernicke around the early 1930’s it would have been sat in a warehouse office for filing in the drawers and storage of details on index cards. It is manufactured from radial cut, top quality oak and oak veneer (sides). The brass ware on the front is original and has been fully cleaned. It is quite simply the best example of aged handles and brass label holders that we have see. And we have seen a lot of pieces!
The cabinet sits on a later (mid century) base. There are inevitable signs of use and damage. Mainly the original stop is heavily marked and stained. We could add new leather to the top if you prefer. We love the original top the most – even though it has the marks. Some of the brass side bandings are missing (see photographs). However, given the age and its previous use we think it is remarkable to have survived in such amazing condition. It is the front view that stops everybody in their tracks to admire the beauty of the piece as a whole.
This piece raises so many comments and can only get better with age – plus appreciate in value.
Rare, beautiful and completely timeless.
Dimensions: 160cm High (including the base), 107cm Wide, 34cm Deep
