Crafted primarily from oak, with chestnut drawers, it captivates with its harmonious proportions and the quality of its craftsmanship. Its horizontal slatted front slides smoothly on its internal rail, while the top drawer, fitted with its original lock, retains its character despite the key having been replaced over time. The interior features nine compartments for filing mail and documents, complemented by a molded, drop-front that enhances its elegance. The tilting top is a practical and ingenious detail, ideal for comfortably consulting documents or writing. Mounted on swivel casters, this piece combines mobility and functionality. Having undergone only minimal restoration, it has retained all its authenticity and beautiful patina. An increasingly rare piece, perfect for adding character, charm, and history to an office or a collector's item. See less
