Singer (treadle era) • Quarter-sawn oak folding-top cabinet • Ornate cast-iron 'SINGER' treadle base
The Story
Quarter-sawn oak Singer treadle cabinet on its ornate cast-iron base, early twentieth century. The folding top, four drawers (two each side) and the SINGER-cast pedal frame are all here; the sewing-machine head is not. The hinged well sits empty with its drop-in plate and lift still in place, which is exactly what makes this a ready base for a writing desk, entry table or plant stand: set a board or a slab of glass over the well and the treadle stays underfoot as it always has. Two of the drawers still hold their thread spools, which come along. Local pickup only at the shop in Richmond, Illinois.
