Large wooden rotating parts cabinet constructed in a hexagonal form, surmounted by a turned finial and paneled domed top. The body is fitted with 72 individually sized drawers, each with cream-painted faces, delicate stenciled borders, and porcelain pulls. Drawer fronts are hand-marked with fractional measurements and quantities, reflecting an original function tied to precise inventory control-likely within an industrial, pharmaceutical, or specialty retail environment. The cabinet rotates smoothly on its base, and each drawer slides freely and can be fully removed.

Built as a functional shop fixture rather than a domestic storage piece, the cabinet emphasizes efficiency, density, and visual order. Its vertical orientation maximizes storage within a compact footprint, while the varied drawer sizes suggest use for small components, parts, or measured materials. The cabinet breaks down into three main sections, underscoring its modular, purpose-built construction and making transport and installation manageable despite its scale.

American manufacturers in the early 20th century produced rotating parts and drug cabinets for pharmacies, hardware stores, and industrial suppliers, catering to a period when inventory was hand-sorted and precision was paramount to daily operations.

Shows surface wear consistent with age and use, including scattered paint loss, rubbing to drawer fronts, light staining, and edge wear. Wood surfaces display handling marks and a developed patina. Drawers remain functional and structurally sound; rotation is smooth.
