Bay Colony Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this wonderful early 20th century antique Arts & Crafts tiger oak 3 drawer file cabinet. The cabinet was made by the Library Bureau Sole Makers who were founded in 1876 Library Bureau and really came to stride supplying equipment, furniture, and other services to the many new Carnegie libraries being built across the country. Library Bureau Sole Makers crafted files of all sizes along with a wide array of other library & office furnishing like desk, desk chairs, display cases, etc.. This desktop example has 3 drawers, double paneled sides, & a paneled back. The file is signed "Library Bureau Sole Makers" on a brass tag below the top drawer and the drawers all actuate with ease.
