Antique Oak 5-Drawer Collectors Cabinet with Brass Handles, Early 19th Century

About the Item

A beautiful English oak Antique Collectors cabinet with 5 drawers, circa late 18th century early 19the century. The cabinet was previously housed at the University of Cambridge and used to house music scores & sheets. The cabinet is extremely well built and boats original brass handles and a ‘J Bramah’* lock (locking part & key missing). The cabinet does show small signs of wear to the top and sides, as expected with the age and usage. *web source: ‘In 1784 Joseph Bramah, after attending some lectures on lock making, patented his first lock and set up the Bramah Locks Company at 124 Piccadilly, London. Joseph Bramah was a true inventor in every sense of the word, patenting other very notable inventions like an improved flushing toilet, bank note printing press, and a hydraulic press to name but a few. The technical achievement and level of security offered by Bramah’s ‘unpickable’ locks were considered far beyond anything presented by his peers. Joseph’s son, Timothy, joined the business in 1813 and prompted the name change to Bramah & Son.’
