About the Item
This immaculate hardware store cabinet by Henry Westphal rotates on its center from top to bottom. This version was patented in 1874. Each version of the Westphal cabinet was produced a little differently from the last. This cabinet has been incredibly well preserved, with special detail given to the top finial which is often completely shattered.
The dimensions of this cabinet are 42"H x 21" in diameter. The cabinet is constructed entirely of cast iron with glass inserts on the face of each compartment. Each level spins independently on a center axis. In order to move this cabinet safely it is suggested that the finial be removed and then each subsequent layer be removed after that, leaving only the center axis and base. The cabinet can be reassembled afterward.
This example of the Westphal cabinet is exceptionally well preserved and is a nearly-lost memento of the bygone era of industrial Americana.
