Antique Arts & Crafts Tiger Oak Legal Size File Cabinet - Library Bureau Makers

Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this fantastic early 20th century antique 4 drawer legal size filing cabinet. The cabinet was made by Library Bureau Sole Makers who were founded in 1876 and really came into stride supplying equipment, furniture, and other services to the many new Carnegie libraries being built across the country. Library Bureau Sole Makers crafted files of all sizes along with a wide array of other library & office furnishings like desk, desk chairs, display cases, etc.. When grading Antique file cabinets we always start with how they are constructed. Examples with paneled sides and paneled backs will always command a premium over the ones with plywood sides. After looking at the construction, we like to take a look at the grade of the wood itself. This file is constructed with vibrant grain Tiger Oak with large rays and flecks present in the grain. This is a legal size file with the drawers having useable dimensions of 15 1/4” wide x 24” deep x 10 1
