An Amberg cabinet is a specialized antique filing cabinet designed and patented by the Amberg File & Index Company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These primarily wooden cabinets, often made of oak or mahogany, feature multiple drawers designed to hold papers upright for efficient storage and retrieval. The key to Amberg's innovation was his patented indexing systems, which used specialized tabs, dividers, and sometimes pull-out shelves within the drawers to facilitate organization. Therefore, Amberg cabinets are frequently found with these patent file indexes because the cabinets and indexes were designed and marketed as a complete, integrated filing system—the cabinets were built to specifically accommodate the dimensions and functionality of Amberg's unique indexing methods, ensuring immediate and effective use for customers.
