A fantastic antique filing cabinet. Dating from the turn of the century and made by the Amberg company in mahogany with Walnut drawer fronts. With a wonderful deep ebonised finish that is worn with time and the original gilded stencilling. This rare configuration of 8 drawers can be used as a table top cabinet that makes it perfect for home use for filing or storage.
