    Description

    This listing is for an unusual antique sewing/thread cabinet dating to about 1890-1920.  It is beautifully made, solid wood (likely walnut) with brass tear-drop handles, incised decoration and 4 low feet.  While the handles make it seem that the cabinet has one drawer, it reality, when you pull a handle, the "drawer" rotates out to reveals a shelf for storing thread.  In the center is a also rotating red thread holder - possibly Bakelite. Totally unexpected!  The cabinet measures about 14 inches by 7.5 inches by 5 inches high.  The wood has a rich warm aged patina and condition is excellent.  There is a tiny piece of wood edging missing at the top corner of the rotating drawer - hard to see.  Buyer pays shipping.  Please review the photos and ask any questions you may have as the photos are a very important part of the description.  Thank you.
