Description
A good quality microscope slide cabinet dating from the mid to late 19th Century. It is made from mahogany and comes with its original working key. The door opens to reveal 13 drawers, each with numbered handles and plaques which can be written on to act as labels for the drawers. Each drawer is lined with blue velvet and divided internally into three rows, each capable of holding 8 standard microscope slides, giving each drawer a capacity for 24 slides and meaning the cabinet can hold 312 slides! The bottom section of the cabinet has had the drawers removed, presumably to make space for larger pieces of equipment such as lenses or bowls etc.
The nature of the cabinet means that it could be used for a variety of things and not just microscope slides - it would display a collection of coins very well too.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
