Antique Victorian Sewing Cabinet: A Timeless Treasure

Bay Colony Antiques is thrilled to present this exquisite late 19th-century antique Victorian Mahogany & Oak sewing cabinet/file cabinet. This stunning piece is not only a testament to craftsmanship but also a versatile storage solution for your home or office. Crafted with the finest materials, it combines both historical charm and practical functionality.

Product Features and Specifications

This antique Victorian sewing cabinet boasts paneled sides and a spacious storage cavity underneath the lift top, perfect for keeping your items organized and protected. The cabinet features two drawers, each with its unique benefits:

• Top Drawer: The top drawer includes a partition, allowing for segmented storage. The larger section, measuring 12 3/8” wide x 8 5/8” deep, comfortably accommodates standard letter-sized papers (8.5” x 11”).
• Bottom Drawer: The bottom drawer is open and can be used at full width, measuring 16 1/2” wide x 8 1/2” deep x 2” tall. It is ideal for storing legal-sized papers (8.5” x 14”) and other important documents.

The drawers are fitted with their original brass thumb pulls and include an escutcheon and chain for added security. Despite an old repair where the hinges were previously damaged, the cabinet remains structurally sound, with the top being neither weak nor wobbly. The previous owner's addition of the chain ensures the top cannot overextend again, providing peace of mind.

Practical Uses and Versatility

This antique Victorian sewing cabinet/file cabinet is not limited to its original purpose. Its versatile design allows it to serve as a beautiful silverware chest or a sophisticated jewelry box when lined with felt. The overall dimensions of the cabinet are 20 1/2” wide x 11 1/2” deep x 11 1/2” tall, with the height increasing to 21 1/2” when the top is fully open. With its timeless appeal and practical storage solutions, this cabinet is a perfect addition to any space, whether it's a home office, a study, or a bedroom.
