1920s antique Oak & Pine Continental Filing Cabinet / Cartonnier.

A stunning original antique oak & pine continental filing cabinet, also known as a cartonnier. Pine internal framing with Oak veneer to the outer surfaces.

The upper section features original pressed‑card drop‑front file boxes, each fitted with brass index plates and pulls, offering both character and practicality. Below, the cabinet houses twelve wooden drawers, each with classic turned knobs—providing a total of 30 individual storage compartments.

Perfect for home organisation, wardrobe or dressing room storage and crafting and creative studios. A unique focal point in any interior

A rare opportunity to own a piece of European history that is as functional as it is beautiful.
