AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
MEZ "Progress" yarn cabinet / shop cabinet made of solid wood, 6 drawers, approx. 1930–1950
Description
Historical yarn and haberdashery cabinet of the MEZ Progress brand from a former handicraft or haberdashery shop. The chest of drawers was used to store and display knitting yarn skeins and is today a sought-after collector's and decorative object from the area of shop and industrial history.
The cabinet is finely crafted from solid wood and features six drawers with original viewing windows and metal handles. The chest traditionally built with dovetail joints. The brand designation „MEZ Progress“ as well as the company emblem „Registered colorfastness mark“ are permanently and indented into the wood and can be found on the sides, the back wall and on top of the body.
Internally the drawers have the typical compartments to hold yarn skeins. Of the originally present inserts, two drawers still have complete original partitions; in the other drawers some parts are missing. Old stickers, as well as minor and a larger soiling in the small compartments are present. The chest is in original vintage condition, over the years it has only been cleaned with furniture polish.
Two glass panels as replacements for the drawers are additionally included with the chest.
