Antique Victorian Sewing Cabinet / Small File Cabinet - Legal & Letter Size

Bay colony antiques is pleased to offer for sale this wonderful late 19th century antique Victorian Mahogany & Oak sewing cabinet / file cabinet. This is such a great size, and we think it would also make a nice silverware chest or jewelry box if you laid down some felt in the open cavity and the drawers. The cabinet has paneled sides and a large storage cavity underneath the lift top. Although we can only speculate on its original use, it’s a wonderful utilitarian 2 drawer cabinet that we could see a number of our clients having a good use for. The top drawer has a partition that segments the drawer about a quarter of the way through. The larger section in the top drawer has useable dimensions of 12 3/8” wide x 8 5/8” deep, the smaller section measures 3 7/8” wide x 8 5/8” deep. The larger section can house standard letter paper which is 8.5” x 11”. The bottom drawer is open and can be used at full width. The bottom drawer has useable dimensions of 16 1/2” wide x 8 1/2” deep x 2”
