A Brief History of the Professional Cabinet
A working tool before becoming a decorative object, the professional cabinet emerged in the 19th century to meet the precision needs of apothecaries, printers, and seed merchants. Its structure, dictated by its use, is recognizable by its multitude of drawers and brass name card holders that allowed for quick identification of stock. Whether called a "plan chest" or a "workshop semainier," today it brings a raw industrial character and unparalleled storage capacity. This furniture tells of an era when furniture was an extension of the craftsman's hand, making every trace of wear a testament to its past history.
