Due to unforeseen circumstances this incredibly beautiful Fireside traditional tapestry loom in solid cherry is available again. Built in 1987, the cherry wood is gradually acquiring the rich, warm patina of maturity (kinda like the rest of us, only better). An outstanding piece of craftsmanship, this loom would be the centerpiece in any room in which it resides, even when it is “undressed.” It is hard to put into words the beauty and craftsmanship in this loom. Even the pictures fall short. This is truly an heirloom piece.
Weaving width is 60”. Footprint is approximately 5’ deep by 7’ wide by 6 ½’ tall. Eight-dent reed. Tex-solv heddles. Tensioning system is ratchet and pawl on upper beam, worm gear on lower beam. Chain tie-ups. The treadles have rollers on the end, so they need to be on a firm surface – carpet interferes with their operation.
Also includes a 60” cherry commuter bench.
Would prefer to not ship this loom because of potential for damage and the cost. We live 2 hours southeast of the St Louis area. If you are in the region, we can bring it to you and help you set it up or meet you halfway for the transfer.
Price $2000.
