Vintage-Style Apothecary Multi-Drawer Wood Cabinet
This item is a tall, vertical wooden storage cabinet designed in the style of a traditional library card catalog or apothecary chest. The piece features twenty individual drawers arranged in a four-column by five-row grid. It is constructed from wood with a dark mahogany or espresso stained finish, displaying a warm reddish-brown hue. Each drawer face is outfitted with an antiqued bronze-tone or blackened metal library pull that includes an integrated rectangular nameplate holder, currently containing white cardstock inserts. The cabinet features a flat overhang top and straight side panels, suggesting a late 20th to early 21st-century reproduction of early industrial or educational furniture. The overall condition appears fair to good; there are visible surface scuffs, minor scratches, and some finish wear along the edges of the drawer fronts and the main casing, which is typical for used decorative furniture. The craftsmanship indicates a commercial mass-produced quality rather than a bench-made antique, as evidenced by the uniform finish and modern hardware styling. It stands as a functional decorative piece suitable for modern home offices or craft storage.
