Description
This original Winselmann sewing machine dates from the early 20th century and is a characterful object from the heyday of the European sewing machine industry. The black-painted cast-iron machine is richly decorated with refined gold-colored ornaments and rests on an original wooden base.
What is particularly notable is the still-present wooden protective cover, nicely bearing the inscription Winselmann, which makes this set extra complete and collectible. The manual drive with a large metal flywheel emphasizes the mechanical craftsmanship from a time when durability and precision were central.
Very suitable for collectors, enthusiasts of antique machinery, or as an authentic decorative object in an interior with an industrial, vintage, or country-style appearance.
