The machine is painted black and very richly decorated with, among other things, gold-coloured edges in Art Deco style. There are 2 rare and beautiful images including representing Cleopatra, who smells a lotus flower. There is also a beautiful gold-coloured factory logo with the inscription "Actien Geselschaft Frister & Rossmann Berlin". The profiled nickel front cover has a beautiful decoration in art deco style as well as the round maintenance cover, which is decorated with the beautiful letters F & R. The handle is made of white porcelain and there is a nice storage compartment. The machine includes the corresponding flying shuttle. On the wooden base there is a size distribution piece of finely inlaid wood. Unfortunately, the dust cover is missing. The dimensions are l x w x h = 50x27x28 cm. The weight is 12 kg. The sewing machine will be packaged with care and shipped, but it can also be picked up in Haarlem.
