Spool cabinets were first introduced in the mid-19th century when sewing machines became popular. They quickly became a popular item among seamstresses and quilters, who used them to store their growing collections of thread spools. Spool cabinets were also used in general stores and haberdasheries, where they were displayed to showcase the store's inventory of sewing supplies. The creation of spool cabinets was a collaborative effort between furniture makers and thread manufacturers. These cabinets not only served as functional storage solutions but also served as promotional tools for the thread brands. Thread companies would often commission the crafting of spool cabinets that prominently displayed their brand name and logo, turning these cabinets into visually captivating advertisements.
Spool cabinets were made in a variety of styles, from simple and utilitarian to ornate and decorative. Some spool cabinets were made of plain pine or oak, while others were made of more expensive woods such as mahogany or walnut. Spool cabinets were often decorated with carvings, turnings, or hand-painted designs. Some spool cabinets also had glass panels in the doors or drawers, which allowed the spools to be seen.
