Pulled from a local Roanoke, Virginia home with the last sewing project still sitting under the needle, this Minnesota Model D treadle machine is one of those pieces that survives because somebody cared enough to keep using it. The cabinet is a particularly attractive example with four carved drawers, original brass-tone pulls, cast iron treadle base, and a rich aged oak finish that displays beautifully. The machine remains mounted in the cabinet and folds down beneath the hinged top when not in use. The treadle assembly moves freely and the machine turns by hand. Whether you’re looking for a functional antique sewing machine, a display piece for a historic home, or simply a beautiful Victorian-era furniture piece, this one checks all the boxes. It presents exceptionally well and has the kind of honest character collectors hope to find. Minnesota Model D sewing machine. Cast iron treadle base. Four carved drawers with original pulls. Pulled from a Roanoke, Virginia home. Last project still set up when acquired.
