Vintage French Medical Cabinet by Ficostra, Strasbourg
Vintage French Medical Cabinet by Ficostra, Strasbourg
This striking vintage medical cabinet originates from France and was produced by Ficostra (Fabrique d’Instruments de Chirurgie et d’Orthopédie), a renowned maker of surgical and orthopaedic instruments based in Strasbourg. The original maker’s plaque is still intact and proudly displayed on the piece, adding both provenance and character.
Dating from the mid-20th century, the cabinet features a painted steel frame in its original cream finish, with subtle signs of age and wear that only enhance its authentic patina. The top section has a glazed door and side panels with a glass shelf inside, perfect for display. The lower section offers additional storage behind a steel door, with an internal shelf for practicality.
Originally designed to house surgical instruments and medical supplies, this piece now makes a highly versatile storage or display cabinet in a contemporary setting. Its clean lines, industrial style, and understated elegance make it ideal for use in a kitchen, bathroom, living space, or even as a unique retail display.
Lovely vintage condition with age-related wear and paint loss, fully functional and structurally sound.
