About the Item

1920's Original Printers Letterpress Typography Cabinet. We recently cleared a printworks in Leipzig, untouched for many years. We recovered a whole bunch of exceptional cabinets from ‘Ernst Rudolph Muller’ - fachgeschaff fur das graph gemerbe – Leipzig 24. Literally translated as ‘Specialist shop for the graph community’. Made of pine with original handles and a century of age and character. We have gently cleaned the unit and left it as untouched as possible. The unit was used to house sets of typography and the printer would place his 'frame' on the slanted shelf on top of the cabinet selecting the required type blocks from below. The type blocks were laid out (set) in the frame, then secured with spacers and 'furniture' wedges before the printer moved the frame to the press for printing. Original presses used simple manual pressure which then progressed to screwed weighted plates and then a roller before eventually engraved plates replaced the individual type blocks. An exceptional piece of history and just a beautiful piece of furniture. Our workshop has cleaned and serviced eth cabinet, the drawers run well, the cabinet is strong and stable. Unusually this cabinet does not have handles but instead opens with inset handles slots on the drawer ends. The Drawers can include compartments that vary in size. Internal Drawer Dimensions: L60 x W87 x H3 all in cm. This product is located in our EU warehouse and may add an additional 1-2 weeks to the quoted delivery times.
