Offered for sale is an antique solid OAK library card cabinet featuring four drawer with original pulls and hardware. Library card catalog cabinets were essential fixtures in libraries and offices from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, used to organize and store index cards for cataloging books, recipes, or business records. These cabinets were typically crafted from durable quarter-sawn oak with dovetail joinery, featuring brass label holders and pulls.

This particular example appears to date from the early 20th century, likely between 1910 and 1930, when such filing systems were standard in libraries, offices, and institutional settings. These cabinets are highly sought after by collectors of vintage office furniture, librarians, antique enthusiasts, and interior designers who appreciate their historical significance and functional beauty. The warm patina of aged oak, combined with the brass hardware and compact size, makes them ideal for repurposing as kitchen recipe organizers, craft storage, or decorative accent pieces in homes and offices. Their craftsmanship and nostalgic appeal continue to attract buyers who value both form and function in vintage furnishings.

Approximate measurements: 13.75”W X 9.5”H X 15.5”D (at deepest point). Presented in excellent overall condition (with minor wear consistent with age and use). Original metal plaque of origin. A wonderful and hard to find piece that would fit any space for the storage of index cards, photos, papers, or the like.

Offered for sale at $250 (or best offer).
