Product description
This impressive vintage apothecary cabinet in an industrial style is a statement piece with a story to tell: a genuine original piece of furniture that once served to neatly store numerous small parts, tools, or merchandise. Thanks to its robust wood and metal construction, it combines functional workshop aesthetics with charming vintage design.
Material & Construction
Main structure made of sturdy metal, combined with solid wood drawers—ideal for everyday use and long-lasting durability.
Numerous small drawers (apothecary-style), each with a handle and label holder—perfect organization, ideal for small parts.
The wood shows signs of age and wear, and the metal has an attractive patina, rusted accents, and a distressed finish—all hallmarks of its authenticity.
Origin & Function
Cabinets like these were once used in workshops, pharmacies, warehouses, or factories to neatly store screws, nuts, tools, or materials.
The many drawers made it easy to sort individual items by theme or function—an efficiency that was essential for industrial workflows.
... Modern Use
In a contemporary home, this cabinet proves invaluable:
As a sideboard or chest of drawers in the living room
In a home office for stylish storage of office supplies
In a loft apartment as decorative and functional storage
In a creative studio or workshop as an organizer for materials and tools
Condition & Authenticity
Original piece, not a modern replica
Genuine signs of wear: rust, chipped paint, scratches in the wood – the patina emphasizes its antique character
Drawers are functional, handles and label holders are well preserved
Dimensions
Height: approx. 85 cm
Width: approx. 168 cm
Depth: approx. 70 cm
These generous dimensions make the cabinet a highly functional piece of furniture without appearing overly bulky.
