From Google -
"The image shows a large, vintage wooden cabinet with numerous small drawers, commonly identified as a card catalogue cabinet or an apothecary cabinet.
These cabinets were historically used in libraries to store index cards listing books and other materials, typically organised by author, title, or subject.
The one pictured appears to be an original piece from the early 1900s, potentially made of scumbled pine, and features 56 drawers.
Similar cabinets were also used in post offices or pharmacies (apothecaries) for sorting and storage of small items.
They are now popular as unique, rustic furniture pieces for storage in homes or studios.

A showcase of traditional woodworking skills - dovetail jointed, 20mm thick solid timber drawers that slide easily and have stood the test of time etc.

I had absolutely no idea how to price this so I've chosen a price that I think is exceptionally reasonable and allows the buyer to pay for restoration where there is salt damage and still make a very tidy profit, or rest easy knowing they got a one off piece at a great price. 

If you'd like to throw an offer on the table if it doesn't sell online, I can let you know.
