A lovely oak stationery cabinet dating from the late 19th / early 20th Century. It is a particularly large example and excellent quality.
It has a sloped front with a brass escutcheon. The doors opens out to reveal a series of racks for holding papers and letters. Above this is a section which we believe would be for holding a pocket watch. There are also labels "accounts, receipts, answered, unanswered". There is also a pen tray and below this there is a large drawer that is released by lifting a brass rod.
There is a maker's label inside for "Parkins & Gotto 24 & 25 Oxford Street".
It is in good condition and although it has been used it has been well looked after over the years. There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside, general signs of age and use but nothing detrimental. It does not come with a key. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
