A well-proportioned Art Deco tambour front cabinet by Stolzenberg Patent File Co. Ltd., London, featuring a finely constructed wooden carcass with a roll-front tambour door.

The cabinet retains its original internal fitted shelving, designed to accommodate files or documents, reflecting its intended use within offices or professional interiors of the early 20th century.

The exterior displays clean architectural lines typical of the Art Deco period, softened by the warm tone and grain of the wood.

The original maker’s plaque remains in situ, providing clear attribution and reinforcing its authenticity as a purpose-built filing cabinet rather than a later domestic adaptation.

Practical yet visually restrained, this piece exemplifies the marriage of functionality and design that defined Art Deco office furniture, making it suitable for both continued use and display within period or eclectic interiors.

Care instructions
This cabinet should be cared for as a functional antique piece of furniture. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, avoiding water or chemical cleaners which may damage the finish or affect the tambour mechanism. The roll-front should be operated gently and kept free from dust to ensure smooth movement. Position the cabinet in a stable, dry environment away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent warping, drying, or fading of the wood over time.
