Dimensions: 24” W × 15.5” D × 28.5” H
This antique cabinet began its life in the late 1800s as a Nonotuck Silk Company display case for Corticelli spool silk. Designed for use in general stores and tailoring shops, it once held dozens of silk thread spools organized neatly in shallow drawers. The craftsmanship is solid walnut throughout, built with the precision and longevity that defined late 19th-century American furniture making.
At some point in the 1960s, the cabinet was given new life with the addition of mid-century tapered legs, creating an unexpected blend of Victorian detail and modern simplicity. The open compartment that once displayed silk products now fits full-size vinyl records, making it both a conversation piece and a functional record stand.
The cabinet has been left in its natural state to preserve its patina and historical character. The finish shows wear consistent with age, adding depth and warmth that only time can create. It’s a rare example of a retail display turned into a practical and visually interesting home piece.
Perfect for anyone who loves mixing eras, collecting records, or simply appreciating well-made furniture with a story behind it.
