My sewing cabinet (15"W x 21"H x 6"D) has shelves, pockets, and spool holders in the interior. Would this have been used in a fabric store?
The sewing cabinet was manufactured for home use. It was made c. 1940, when there was a revival of interest in early American treasures. The sewing cabinet features a simple, straight-line construction. The date 1776 and the spelling of "shop" as "SHOPPE" recall an earlier era. The sweet motto below the scissors, thread, and thimble is a decorative touch.
