This beautiful cherry tapestry loom is available again. A prior buyer was unable to complete the sale due to unforeseen circumstances. We really don’t have room for it and it needs to go to someone who will treasure it and use it.
Incredibly beautiful Fireside traditional tapestry loom and commuter bench in solid cherry. 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 and ought to be lovingly used, a piece that should appreciate in value with time.
The details: 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. Being 30 years old, it has acquired a few minor bumps and bruises, but haven’t we all by that age. Would prefer to not ship this loom because of potential for damage and the cost. If you live within five hours of the St Louis area, we can bring it to you and help you set it up or meet you for the transfer.
