Clark's Anchor Cantilever Sewing Thread Box

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb oak cantilever Haberdashery box dating from the early 20th Century, used as a countertop display in a shop to sell Clark's 'Anchor' stranded cotton. The box has four cantilevered sections and a hinged glazed lid. The front is inscribed in gilt 'Clark's Anchor Stranded Cotton for Embroidery'. Each level is divided into sections and contains many bundles of different coloured thread. There are three brass knobs on the front of the box to aid with opening - while holding the bottom one to steady the box, the top one can be used to open out the cantilever mechanism.

It is in excellent condition for its age. The cantilever mechanism works smoothly and the inside of the drawers are clean and tidy. The wood has a nice aged patina with no major damages, just a few minor knocks and marks.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
