Brass Franklin Cabinet

Black steel straps hold it together, or at least they give that impression.

The Franklin cabinet is built of blackened steel and burnished brass with walnut veneer in a bleached finish. Open cabinets of this sort are made for living rooms and libraries, holding books and objects on show and keeping the rest out of sight in drawers. Two tall steel bands run from floor to top and carry six shelves with brass-toned edges. Three drawers with long, slim pulls interrupt the stack below the middle. Straight pale grain fills the back. Eighty-four inches high and forty-four long.

Books are optional, though it will notice.
