Antique Sylko Dewhursts Shop Sewing Display Cotton Bobbin Box

Antique Wooden Shop Display Sewing Cabinet for Dewhurst Sylko Spool Haberdashery, Circa 1920

This delightful early 20th-century wooden display cabinet was once a charming fixture in town haberdashery shops, where it showcased Dewhurst’s Sylko cotton spools. Featuring original gold advertising lettering around the exterior, this piece embodies the nostalgic appeal of vintage haberdashery.

The cabinet is fitted with two drawers, each with sectional dividers designed to neatly organize spools of thread. Measuring 52cm x 28.5cm with a height of 14cm, it was frequently used on shop counters. Despite its age, this cabinet remains a fantastic collector’s piece, perfect for adding character to any vintage retail display or personal sewing collection.

Condition: The drawers show signs of use, with a few notable features such as handwritten markings on the edges of the internal drawers, wear along the outer edges, and some slight discoloration on the top of the box. Please refer to the photographs to assess the condition for yourself.
