A brief history of the tradesman's cabinet
A tool of the trade before becoming a decorative object, the tradesman's cabinet was born in the 19th century to meet the precision needs of apothecaries, printers, or grocers. Its structure, dictated by use, is recognizable by its multitude of drawers and brass nameplates that allowed stock to be identified without wasting a second. Whether called a "plan cabinet" or a "workshop week-cabinet," it now brings a raw industrial charm and unparalleled storage capacity. This cabinet tells the story of a time when furniture was an extension of the artisan's hand, making every trace of wear a testament to its past history.
