About the Item

This is an early 20th-century desktop card file cabinet by the Globe Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, later Globe-Wernicke, one of America’s leading makers of office and filing furniture. The case is solid quartersawn oak with pronounced ray-fleck figuring across the sides and top. A gold “Globe” decal sits on the front rail. The four drawers are arranged two over two. Each has an oak front with its original combination label holder and cup pull. Behind each front is a steel drawer liner painted oxblood. Each drawer keeps its original center rod and sliding follower block, and every follower is stamped “Globe” in script. Metal glides at each corner of the base protect the surfaces it sits on. The cabinet is compact enough for a desk, credenza, or bookshelf. It works well for index cards, recipe cards, photographs, small office supplies, or a collection of small objects. Condition is consistent with age and office use. The original finish is untouched, with wear, scratches, and some separation at a seam on the top. There are white paint drips on two drawer fronts and small red and green paint marks on the case. The decal is partially worn. The steel interiors show some rust and paint loss. The drawers slide well. Dimensions: 16"W x 11.75"H x 17.25"D
