Vintage Sylko Dewhurst’s Sewing Thread Counter Shop Display Drawer Box An original vintage shop counter display drawer box advertising Sylko 40 sewing thread by Dewhurst’s. The box is finished in deep navy blue with a bold red printed panel reading “SYLKO 40 – Dewhurst’s mercerised thread – for sewing natural fabrics.” Designed for use in haberdashery shops, this type of counter unit would originally have contained drawers of Sylko cotton thread reels, allowing shop assistants to quickly access colours for customers. The strong graphic branding and simple wooden construction make it an appealing piece for collectors of sewing ephemera, haberdashery displays, or vintage advertising. The piece has three small drawers with black knobs and retains its original painted finish and printed advertising strip to the front. It works equally well as a functional storage piece for sewing supplies, or as a decorative display item in a sewing room, studio, or retail setting. The typography and colour combination give it strong visual appeal and it would sit beautifully among other vintage sewing collectibles or haberdashery displays. ConditionGood vintage condition with age-related wear. There are scuffs, scratches, and small paint losses to the blue painted surfaces consistent with shop use. The advertising strip remains bright and legible. DimensionsH: 14 cm x L: 31 cm x W: 22.5 cm EraMid 20th century, circa 1950s–1960s
