1920s Mahogany Haberdashery Display Cabinet

1900 - 1920
Description

A lovey mahogany flip haberdashery or shop display cabinet from the 1920s , fitted with three glass front sections above two lower drawers.

Each glass front lifts upwards and slides back into the carcass, opening to reveal a series of individually divided pull-out trays, originally intended for the organised display and storage of smaller goods. The cabinet is finished with simple brass handles to the glazed fronts and shell-shaped cup handles to the lower drawers, with a moulded cornice and plinth completing the design.

The mahogany has developed a rich, warm colour with knocks, marks and general wear throughout consistent with its age and former commercial use. A particularly useful piece of early 20th century shop furniture, offering a large amount of practical display and storage.

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.

Secure Transit

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.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

This tall 1920s commercial haberdashery display cabinet is constructed from mahogany with a warm dark brown finish, glass, and metal. The upright structure has a moulded timber cornice at the top and sits on a solid plinth base. Three glazed retracting doors lift upwards and slide back into the carcass, opening to reveal internal wooden cubby compartments and tray sections. Two bottom drawers are fitted with metal shell handles, whilst the glass sections use simple metal cup handles. Surface marks, knocks, and general wear are visible across the timber, reflecting its former commercial use. Measuring 206 cm high, 102 cm wide, and 58 cm deep, this substantial piece provides extensive storage and display space. It brings practical functionality to a gentleman's library, study, or retail interior, serving as an organised storage unit for collections, textiles, or everyday accessories.

FAQs

Originally manufactured for early 20th-century drapers, tailors, and department stores, haberdashery cabinets feature glazed fronts and compartmentalised trays or drawers designed to display small wares, threads, and garments while protecting them from dust.

Cabinets from this era were predominantly constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, paired with clear glass panels, metal hardware, and softwood internal components.

Authentic period pieces feature traditional dovetail drawer joinery, period-accurate cast metal handles, original glass panes, and visible wear along internal sliding tracks or tray grooves.

These tall units function as versatile storage in dining rooms, living spaces, or home offices for organizing glassware, books, or curated collections behind protective glass doors.

Maintain the wood finish by dusting with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish periodically, while cleaning glass panes with a neutral cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly on the timber framework.
