About the Item
This is a turn-of-the-century American small-drawer cabinet, built for systematic storage rather than domestic display. Constructed of solid wood and finished in its original dark green paint, the cabinet features a tight grid of individually numbered drawers, each fitted with turned metal knobs and hand-painted numerals for quick visual reference.
The form is entirely purpose-driven. Drawer boxes are straight-sided and deep, designed to hold small parts, specimens, tools, or inventory items, with interior dividers present in select drawers. The case shows extensive, honest wear—paint loss at edges, softened corners, and surface abrasions consistent with decades of daily use in a workshop, laboratory, apothecary, or industrial office setting.
This type of cabinet was commonly used in environments where organization mattered more than appearance: hardware stores, factories, pharmacies, or back-of-house commercial operations. The survival of the original numbered system and hardware adds to its authenticity, reinforcing its role as a working object rather than a decorative one.
A true utilitarian piece—built to be used hard, kept close at hand, and relied on daily.
