About the Item

A file recovered from the British consulate in the early 1900s. In 1920, the British Consulate in Naples was responsible for issuing visas and passports, a crucial function at a time marked by massive postwar migration and the first strict restrictions on landings introduced that year by the British government. Made of solid walnut with drawer fronts made of walnut slabs (half-centimeter-thick solid walnut slabs). The filing cabinet consists of four vertical columns, each with four spacious drawers, which feature a wooden and iron mechanism inside that keeps documents organized at all times. Each drawer is adorned with shell-shaped handles and brushed brass label holders, elements typical of office furniture from the first half of the 20th century. Partially restored, the card index is in excellent condition. The two modules at the ends have infill walls, while the two central modules do not. Each module measures: H. 156 cm, W. 43.5 cm, D. 55.5 cm
