RE: 🤩 Antique Collectors Cabinet 🤩 WOW EDITION 🤩
I also wonder about the plainness, but I would say perhaps it was supposed to be a manly piece, and that leads me to think it was a manly profession... the piece is 1930’s so I had all kinds of thoughts about Architects etc in Egypt, but I am really not sure.
Hmmmmm. Good thought.
I didn't say my real first thought. One of my best buds parents were huge collectors of Native culture. They were tomb raiders looking back, but I was completely fascinated by their collection. This cabinet would have been perfect for their arrowhead collection. They ranged from teeny fish and small game (rabbits) to large 'man sized' items made of a wide variety of stones and bone. This cabinet could have been made for that collection.
I wonder if it held spectacles?
