ARBEY curtain filing cabinet from the French Red Cross. Professional furniture

Superb filing cabinet with curtain, or cardboard box, or notary's furniture from the famous arbey brand, with its famous metal labels (1940s). Arbey sold its furniture under the name au vieux noyer, located at fbg st antoine in paris but had its workshop at pré st gervais. They specialized in office furniture and this single-panel filing cabinet is a classic in their catalog. Arbey is a guarantee of quality, both in terms of wood and aesthetics: we recognize the specific slats that make up the curtain. Double beveled, they catch the light. The curtain slides in the back of the furniture and is activated thanks to its metal handle with soft pleats on the sides. When you turn the key (original), the curtain descends on a very addictive "sshhhh". Inside, 8 removable shelves fixed on grooved cleats offer a beautiful storage space. To place a filing cabinet high up, simply remove a shelf. This binder has the letters crf painted in red on the spine, and a cross of the same color. The spetuagenarian seller confirmed: "it belonged to my mother who worked all her life at the french red cross." the premises were actually 100 meters from her home, in the 77! This piece of furniture has been completely cleaned but was used as a piece of professional furniture. There is therefore some wear and tear (tiny chips, past traces of stains on the top...), but it is in excellent general condition and perfectly functional and adapted to our current files.
