Office furniture is a pretty steady sale and filing cabinets are getting hard to find. This is an antique wood filing cabinets. Solid oak someone along the way painted the sides on this one in the army green. Looks real good even with paint. Paint is a thick oil done well. This filing cabinet is marked C.N.R railway. So it would have came out of the railway station. This makes it more collectible that just a filing cabinet it also has the railway collectors interest now too.
Note the handles are sideways on it. This is originally how they went there is not old hole sideways. This one was a thick good oak wood . The name for this wood is quarter cut oak. A step up form oak. We have had thinner woods and some with veneers. Not all cabinets are oak. They come in every type of wood you can think of. Colors are all different from light to dark and sizes are taller shorter narrower to wider.
This one has an industrial look and quality.
This teams up nicely with the antique oak office desks.
Add a nice lamp and don't forget Krug chair or krug style solid wood chair.
