Antique One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

This is one of those pieces that makes total sense once you know what it was. Dating to the early 20th century, this cabinet was originally used in a post office, built to keep the constant flow of letters and documents moving through by hand - each drawer assigned, opened, closed, repeated all day long. The construction reflects that kind of use: sturdy and straightforward. Sylvie loves it in a space that actually functions - top drawer for keys and the things you grab on your way out, middle shelf stacked with books you’re halfway through, lower drawers a mix of papers, cables, whatever hasn’t found a better system yet. It should feel used, a little imperfect, and completely yours.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The drawer fronts have been sanded back, showing a light grey patina, while the cabinet retains a darker stain.
