An antique thread cabinet with a single drawer in the lower portion and with tambour doors in the upper portion, which once contained two trays for spools of thread.

There is a partial hand-written note on the back of the piece intended to record provenance, and with a date of 1879 legible. The drawer of the cabinet contains an article from The Cleveland Press, Saturday, March 8, 1975 describing a similar piece and with a history of spooled thread by Ralph & Terry Kovel; itself a unique artifact. The cabinet measures approx. 8-3/4"W x 4-3/4"D x 11-1/2"H.
