Step into the rhythm of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with this 1891 Singer sewing machine, preserved in its original cabinet and paired with a cast-iron treadle base. More than a decorative piece, this machine comes with documented provenance—including the original lease agreement and coupon book from Lucy E. Cobey, the seller’s great-great aunt.
The cabinet features warm, stained wood with decorative detailing, while the treadle base remains intact and structurally sound. Surface wear is consistent with age, adding to its historical charm. A rare find for collectors, designers, or anyone drawn to the quiet elegance of handmade legacy.
