Description

A lovely rare Kimball & Morton sewing machine. We date this sewing machine to the late 19th century.

The sewing machine features a cast iron treadle stand with the name Kimball & Morton on the foot pedal.

The tabletop is walnut with an extending work flap to the left hand side and a small drawer below with some extra pieces of hardware. The front of the table top has an inlaid measuring stick in inches.

The sewing machine is finished in black with gilded foliage and the name Kimball & Morton on the top.

The machine has its original box cover that has attractive carved panels with an inlaid design on the top and front.

The sewing machine still has its original instruction book which is slightly worn.

The table has an overall height of 40" (102cm) with its coffin box, a table top height of 29” (74cm), a width of 34” (87m) and a depth of 16” (41cm).

When extended the table has a width of 41.5” (106cm).

This lovely sewing machine remains in very good solid condition with only minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. The tabletop has some minor wear and has slightly mellowed around the top box. There are some veneer chips around the edge of the table and some small chips to the black enamel to some edges on the machine base. The belt is present but has snapped.

This remains a very stylish and elegant sewing machine . It will continue to provide sterling service for many years to come.
