A SUBSTANTIAL MID-20TH CENTURY WOODEN FLAT FILE STORAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR THE ORGANISATION AND PRESERVATION OF PRINTS, POSTERS, AND ARTWORK. THE SYSTEM COMPRISES MULTIPLE HORIZONTAL WOODEN COMPARTMENTS, EACH CLEARLY NUMBERED SEQUENTIALLY FROM 1 THROUGH 45 AND BEYOND, INDICATING A METHODICAL CATALOGUING APPROACH TYPICAL OF PROFESSIONAL ART STUDIOS, GALLERIES, OR INSTITUTIONAL COLLECTIONS.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN:
THE FLAT FILE FEATURES SOLID WOODEN CONSTRUCTION WITH METAL HARDWARE THROUGHOUT. EACH COMPARTMENT IS SHALLOW AND DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE FLAT MATERIALS WITHOUT EXCESSIVE STACKING OR PRESSURE. THE NUMBERED SYSTEM SUGGESTS THIS WAS EITHER A COMMERCIAL STORAGE SOLUTION OR PART OF A SERIOUS COLLECTOR'S ORGANISATIONAL SCHEME.

CONTENTS:
THE SYSTEM CONTAINS NUMEROUS VINTAGE POSTERS AND PRINTS SPANNING MULTIPLE DECADES AND SUBJECTS, INCLUDING WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY (BIG CATS, DEER, WOLVES), ANIMATED CHARACTER PRINTS (DISNEY PRINCESSES, WINNIE THE POOH CHARACTERS, VINTAGE CARTOON CHARACTERS), CLASSICAL ART REPRODUCTIONS (CHERUBS, FLORAL STUDIES), AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY. THE COLLECTION DEMONSTRATES ECLECTIC TASTE AND SUGGESTS ACCUMULATION OVER SEVERAL DECADES.

CONDITION:
THE WOODEN STRUCTURE SHOWS HONEST WEAR CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND USE. THE NUMBERING SYSTEM REMAINS CLEARLY LEGIBLE. THE CONTENTS VARY IN CONDITION FROM EXCELLENT TO FAIR, WITH SOME PIECES SHOWING AGE-RELATED FADING, MINOR CREASING, OR SURFACE WEAR. THIS IS PRESENTED AS A WORKING STORAGE SYSTEM WITH ITS ACCUMULATED CONTENTS RATHER THAN A RESTORED OR REFINISHED PIECE.

DIMENSIONS:
APPROXIMATELY 120+ CM IN WIDTH, WITH DEPTH OF APPROXIMATELY 80 CM AND HEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 150+ CM (SYSTEM EXTENDS FROM FLOOR TO CEILING IN PHOTOGRAPHS).

PROVENANCE:
THE COLLECTION APPEARS TO BE FROM A PRIVATE ACCUMULATION, POSSIBLY FROM AN ART ENTHUSIAST, DESIGNER, OR COLLECTOR WHO ORGANISED MATERIALS SYSTEMATICALLY OVER DECADES. THE DIVERSE SUBJECT MATTER AND PRINT TYPES SUGGEST GATHERING FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES AND PERIODS RATHER THAN A CURATED INSTITUTIONAL COLLECTION.

NOTE:
THIS LOT REPRESENTS BOTH THE STORAGE SYSTEM ITSELF AND THE COLLECTION OF PRINTS AND POSTERS CONTAINED WITHIN IT. BUYERS SHOULD INSPECT INDIVIDUAL PIECES FOR CONDITION AND AUTHENTICITY. THE FLAT FILE SYSTEM IS SUITABLE FOR CONTINUED USE AS STORAGE OR COULD BE REPURPOSED FOR DISPLAY OR ORGANISATION IN A STUDIO, GALLERY, OR COLLECTOR'S SPACE.
