Featured in this lot is this antique Domestic Treadle sewing machine circa 1880 to 1900. This antique Domestic treadle sewing machine stands as a beautifully preserved piece of late 19th-century American engineering. Built by the Domestic Sewing Machine Company, it features an elegant six-drawer wooden cabinet complete with a fold-out extension leaf and its original stenciled "coffin top" wooden dust cover. Below the woodwork, the intricate, heavy cast-iron base houses the manual foot treadle and flywheel that powered the machine long before electricity became a household standard. Highly valued today for its rustic aesthetic, this machine serves as a stark reminder of early industrial mass production and is a popular choice for historical collectors and home decorators alike. The sewing machine is sold as is.
