Scarce Clark's Four Sided Revolving Oak Spool Cotton Thread Store Display Case Cabinet
Rare Clark's four sided revolving thread spool cabinet, late 1800's that would have been placed on the counter of an old general store. Very ornate and decorative scroll work on the piece. Constructed of oak that has an original warm patina.
This is a fabulous spool / thread mercantile store display case, again all original and untouched. This was used in many general stores as a dis...play and thread dispenser for the seamstress. Very unique case with 7 narrow long glass windows on two sides and well working sliding tambour (roll-top) doors on the other two.
Every side is loaded from the top of the cabinet which has two large doors, one states white, the other black. At some point someone added early spools with multiple thread colors.
This cabinet is a highly sought after piece and can be used as a end table, bed table or terrific conversation piece. Measurements are approx: 16" Wide x 20" Deep x 23" High.
Please note the worst flaw is that the top of one door has an edge that is slightly warped, this could be fixed I believe with a gradual weight. Three of the thin glass windows are missing. One little wooden knob is missing on one tambour door. The original labels have been worn off other than the ones under the top doors and interior.
I actually prefer this to one that has been already changed out with new labels, this allows the new owner to leave it as is or add those themselves. There are very little issues outside of a few minor scratches. Most notable one is a small nick at the bottom of a tambour doors. See photos. This revolves freely. Believed to come from an old Wisconsin store.
Please see and email with any questions prior to purchase. This will be packed well and shipped out by Fed-ex ground. I'm guesstimating 75.00 for shipping. I'm usually always wrong and in the buyer's favor but if greatly under I will reimburse. Note that I don't charge extra for all the packing and materials.
