Chinese Flat File Cabinet with 5 Drawers

Five shallow drawers, ten brass handles, and nothing you cannot find.

This flat file cabinet with 5 drawers is walnut, from Hebei Province, China, and contemporary. Architects, mapmakers and print collectors use flat files to keep maps, drawings and prints lying level, away from folds and curled corners. The drawers stack in a tight rank, each with a pair of swing handles on round backplates. The grain is rich and reddish, darkening toward the corners. A separate, heavy stand with thick square legs lifts the case off the floor. Thirty-six inches long, twenty-four deep and twenty-nine high.
