Item Description
This antique wooden specimen/archival index case is a beautifully crafted storage cabinet designed for organised, systematic cataloguing. Made from solid hardwood with dovetail joints, brass fittings, and a hinged lid, it reflects the high‑quality craftsmanship typical of early 20th‑century scientific, archival, or field‑work equipment.
Inside the case are multiple individual compartment trays, each fitted with a brass label frame—ideal for storing and organising small items such as geological samples, botanical specimens, archival documents, glass negatives, or scientific instruments. The leather carry handle and sturdy brass clasps make it both portable and durable.
Whether you’re a collector, archivist, conservator, or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, this piece is a rare and functional example of vintage organisational design.
Could also be used as a traveling money box/cash register or to store paperwork.
