This lovely little shellwork dresser with tilting mirror is 6 1/8" at its tallest point and 4 7/8" at the widest. While it shows appropriate wear on the Dresden trim, it is in very nice condition. The original Dresden paper has outlines of the drawers and panels. It is a charming little sewing box/pincusion, but it could work as a piece of furniture in the seaside cottage Victorian dollhouse.It appears to have all its original shellwork.

The largest(1 7/8" square) wooden one, carved to resemble a flower, is two dimensional.The second one, a square(1 3/16") reel shape is a example of inlay called "stick work". The third is a rectangular(1 1/8" long) reel shape, made of bone, delicately decorated with a group of roses on one side and a single rose on the other. All in excellent condition.

This handsome Belding Bros.&Co. circa 19th c. country store spool cabinet is 19" wide, 13" tall and 17" deep. It is all original and in nice condition. The cabinet is solid oak - the back is pine and the name plate on the bottom drawer is mahagony. There are five drawers, 15 1/2" wide - the bottom drawer is 2 1/4" deep and has a mahagony name plate with gilt lettering(original). The other four drawers are glass (original) fronted and 1 3/8" deep.The cabinet has attractive decorative moldings at the top and bottom. The handle and metal fittings (original) are nickel plated brass. The top of the cabinet has some wear. I believe the darker marks are flaws in the oak. The drawers have many Belding spools ( some with thread ), but they are all much later than the cabinet as the company merged with other thread companies several times.

According to VICTORIAN BRASS NEEDLECASES by Estelle Horowitz and Ruth Mann, The Bird on a Box needle case was patented(and that is marked on the case both with the registry mark and written out) on February 24, 1873 by W.Avery & Son Manufacturers, although the box is not marked with their name. The bird needle case is all original, including the matching aqua blue glass eyes. The dimensions are 7.5 x 3.5 x 5.5. The condition is excellent.
This is the first one I've seen complete and intact.
