Vintage French Provincial Style Rotating Sewing Side Table

This is a mid-20th-century wooden sewing storage table, likely manufactured between the 1950s and 1970s. The piece features a French Provincial aesthetic, characterized by its curved cabriole legs and decorative fluting on the side stiles. It is constructed from a combination of solid wood and veneers with a warm, medium-toned fruitwood or maple finish. The top section contains a single functional drawer with two ornate brass-finished circular pulls. Below the drawer is a unique, semi-circular hinged compartment that rotates outward to reveal specialized sewing storage. This interior features two tiers: a top tier with several vertical wooden pegs for holding thread spools and a divided wooden tray, and a lower tier with circular recessed cutouts, likely designed for pincushions, additional spools, or small notions. Physically, the cabinet stands approximately 24-28 inches tall. Regarding its condition, the piece shows visible signs of age including surface scratches on the top and drawer front, and some wear to the finish around the rotating mechanism. The presence of all original spool pegs and the tiered interior increases its functional value for collectors of vintage haberdashery. No maker's marks are visible in the photograph, but the construction style suggests a mass-produced quality piece of American or European furniture intended for home utility.
