For sale: 36” 4 shaft Leclerc Artistat
Please PM with any questions. I’ll update this post with any extra information needed.
New 36” stainless steel 8 dent reed
New brake band/wire
New brake spring
Included:
Loom built in 1982, one shuttle with bobbin, bench, instructions for loom and bench assembly, 1 Robertson screwdriver (larger one), warping board 13 yards, wire heddles on the loom (approx. 600? I didn’t. count), crank, heddle hook
Total price: $900,will not ship,buy can arrange shipping if desired pickup would be Big Rapids/Reed City, Michigan
I know the price seems high for an Artistat, but all above accessories are included as well as brand new reed. Perfect for someone who wants to jump into floor weaving without purchasing a brand new loom for thousands. I can include a 12 dent highly rusted/pitted if you would like the challenge of attempting to clean it.
This is a wonderful loom, a few dings due to age and use. I just wove 9 yards of towels and washcloths off the loom, hence the new brake wire and spring. Loom is in great working order. All treadle pegs are present, only 8 original tie ups but I made some of my own and am including them. I am selling as I am too short for this loom at 5” it wasn’t comfortable for me to thread the heddles no matter what size chair I used. I also struggled to reach the treadles without sitting on the edge of the bench.
Will not separate unless the loom sells without all the accessories. I can add 2 lease sticks if buyer desires. Location: Big Rapids/Reed City, Michigan,may be able to help with delivery up to 100 mile.
