    Description

    This is a handmade sewing cabinet that has been in my family for years. Because it was handmade, there are some inconsistencies. The two drawer knobs are slightly different. The vertical wood trim on either side is different....fancy trim on one side with screws and plain trim on other side with nails. Other than those inconsistencies, the piece is in very good condition. No cracks or chips. Originally there was a metal locking system for the drawers. It doesn’t operate now. The cabinet top is very slightly warped. Now, here is the info..... This is a heavy piece, weighing 10 pounds, 13 ounces. The top is 18” x 11” and 3/4” thick. It has a handle on the top and 9 pegs for spools of thread. There is a foam pin cushion with a 2 3/4” diameter. The pin cushion has a hand made cotton cover for it. There is also a 3/4” hole drilled in the cabinet top for possibly a thimble or sock darning egg handle. The two drawers are each 15” long with the knob , 4 3/4” wide and 3” deep. The only metal on these drawers is a screw to attach the knob. The drawers have rails that run into the cabinet frame.
