19th century

Sold by D and A Binder Ltd

Description

Made from solid mahogany this cabinet features two shallow pine drawers, each with original white ceramic knobs and hand-painted gilt lettering reading “Clark & Co” and “Anchor Mills.” These names relate to the well-known thread manufacturer J. & J. Clark, whose Anchor brand was widely used in haberdashery shops during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The drawers retain their original interiors, showing honest wear from use, while the exterior has developed a rich, warm patina. The hand-painted signage remains beautifully visible, adding strong decorative and historical appeal.

Originally used as a countertop storage unit in a haberdashery store, this piece would have been used to store threads, cottons, or small notions.

A highly decorative and functional piece, ideal for retail display, countertop storage, or as a characterful addition to a home interior.
