When I first started collecting, I came across an old dentist’s cabinet that seemed almost perfect for stashing my hoped-for collection. However, antique dentist’s cabinets were very expensive and this was not quite exactly what I had in mind. One day, while scouring local antique shops for potential additions to my collection of military medals, I found a custom furniture maker in a shop next to one of the antique stores so I went in. The oak cabinet you see pictured here is the result of that chance visit.
I had the drawers made with an inside measurement of 13x17 inches by 1.5 inches. They are designed so that I can place a Ryker mount inside each drawer to hold medals. The drawers can also be opened far enough for the full Ryker mount to be seen.
The glass doors on the bottom hold part of my reference collection. When I had it made ten years ago, 26 drawers seems like more than enough but sad to say I have long since out grown this space and could use another half-dozen drawers!
I think the cabinet is quite unique and a great looking piece too. I hope you enjoyed looking at it.
