Antique Martha Washington Style 3 Drawer and similar items

Up for bid is a antique Martha Washington style, 3 drawer, flip top sewing cabinet. It is hard to say exactly as too much history has been lost to time. But there was a Federal period which dated between 1785 and 1810 where a sewing table was used and the ladies would gather around it and do their sewing, write letters, read, and so on. It is possible that Martha Washington owned one of these sewing tables as she liked to sew. This setting was still in use in 1824. The rounded top design was the first style of cabinet to be labeled as the Martha Washington but those designs have changed over the years a little bit. The ones everyone knows today as the Martha Washington sewing cabinet were made in the very early 20th century when furniture makers needed to sell sewing cabinets at a cheaper price. This style was popular during the American Depression as they usually sold for under $10. That puts their construction date around 1900 to 1939 approx. It is said that the type of sewing table Mrs. Washington used had no drawers. It is possible that the original Martha Washington style of sewing cabinet stopped production around 1850 or somewhere near the start of the Civil War. Due to the weight/dimensions ,shipping is not an option.
