A Brief History of Shop Cabinets
A working tool before becoming a decorative object, the shop 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 stock identification. Whether called a "plan chest" or "workshop chest of drawers," it now brings a raw industrial charm and unparalleled storage capacity. This piece of furniture tells a story of an era when furniture was an extension of the craftsman's hand, making every sign of wear a testament to its past history.
