A Brief History of Shop Cabinets
Once a working tool before becoming a decorative object, the shop cabinet emerged in the 19th century to meet the precise 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, which allowed for quick identification of stock. Whether called a "plan chest" or an "atelier chest of drawers," it now brings a raw industrial charm and unparalleled storage capacity. This furniture tells a story of a time when furniture was an extension of the artisan's hand, making every sign of wear a testament to its past history.
