Mahogany Dental Cabinet DF16

Original, quality late 19th century multi-drawer dental cabinet in pale mahogany. These were carried on home visits or by dental students during training. This example has six drawers, five with glass to the floors. The hinged top reveals a baize lined layer and a pullout locking rod which runs through the drawer fronts below. The top is locked with a key and the two sides have catches for extra safety. The top also has a fold down nickel carry handle and a bakelite nameplate for a previous owner, impressed "T.L Barker". The exterior mahogany has been re-finished and the nickel fittings polished and lacquered, although the lacquer may be removed at no extra cost and all is complete and in good and working order. A super looker and a very usefull cabinet.
