Louis Philippe Period 19th - France

The cartonnier or office filing cabinet is a storage unit with a certain number of boxes. In each of them is inserted a cardboard box, hence the name of the piece of furniture, responsible for storing manuscripts, papers and various documents.
If the cartonnier appeared under Louis XVI, it was under Louis Philippe that it became very widespread, particularly in law and notary offices. Required to contain important and, above all, confidential documents, these pieces of furniture will very quickly be equipped with central locking mechanisms like this cartonnier. See less
