Product description
This exceptional antique apothecary cabinet/card index cabinet likely originates from Europe and dates back to the early 20th century. Crafted from solid wood—probably pine—and complemented by original metal fittings, this piece embodies the functional elegance of historical office furniture.
The numerous small, evenly spaced drawers point to its original use:
Such cabinets were traditionally used in pharmacies for storing herbs and substances, as well as in libraries and offices for archiving index cards.
Today, these pieces of furniture are highly sought after as distinctive vintage storage solutions for modern interiors—whether as a chest of drawers, collector's cabinet, sideboard, or stylish organizational system in living rooms, offices, or commercial spaces.
The authentic patina, age-related wear, and craftsmanship make this piece a truly unique item with a story to tell.
