A rare original Silcarn Machine Twist haberdashery shop display cabinet in polished wood with three drawers, retaining its original branded paper advertising roundel to the top. Silcarn cabinets are significantly less common than those produced by major manufacturers such as Chadwick’s or Coats, making surviving examples particularly desirable among collectors and interior stylists. The cabinet features attractive rope-twist moulded edging and original brass drawer knobs, reflecting quality early 20th century shop-fitting manufacture. The top retains its original circular Silcarn advertising label reading “Silcarn Machine Twist – 30 Yards No. 40,” confirming its use as a working retail display piece. The drawer fronts carry Silcarn paper labels which appear to be later replacements, likely added during its working life, as they reference 100 yard reels rather than the earlier 80 yard format typically associated with cabinets of this period. The drawers retain their original internal dividers and include a quantity of original Silcarn thread reels, enhancing authenticity and historical character. This is a genuine and scarce haberdashery counter cabinet, ideal for collectors, sewing enthusiasts, retail display, or period interior styling.
