Antique 1891 Singer Sewing Machine with Foot Treadle –– Timeless Elegance 

This 1891 Singer sewing machine table isn’t just an antique—it’s a preserved piece of history with documented provenance dating back to July 6, 1891.

Originally leased by Lucy E. Cobey (My Great-Great Aunt) through the Singer Manufacturing Company, this machine comes with its original lease agreement and an accompanying coupon book, where monthly $3 payments were carefully glued into the pages. The lease totaled $60, suggesting that upon completion, Lucy likely owned the machine outright, making this set a remarkable glimpse into the financial agreements of the era.

Set within a solid wood cabinet and framed by a beautifully aged cast iron treadle base, this piece offers more than decorative charm—it embodies the quiet determination of handmade work and legacy design.
