Antique Crescent Best Needles Haberdashery Shop Display Cabinet

A wonderful antique wooden counter display cabinet for Crescent Best Needles, retaining its original internal advertising lithograph and fitted compartment tray.

The cabinet opens to reveal rows of small wooden compartments, originally used for storing and displaying needle packets. Inside the lid is a decorative printed trade label for The Crescent Manufacturing Co., featuring factory and warehouse scenes, Crescent needle packets, and the phrase “Crescent Quality”. The front of the cabinet has a black and gilt label reading “Crescent Best Needles”, with a single lower drawer below.

This is a highly decorative and collectable piece of haberdashery shop furniture, with appeal for collectors of sewing antiques, shop fittings, advertising, needlework history and period retail display. It would look beautiful displayed open in a sewing room, haberdashery collection, shop display, or as a country house decorative piece.
