An elegant piece of antique furniture, a lady's sewing tool for needlework or embroidery, or quilting, this is the size made for tabletop or laptop use, a stretcher to hold the fabric or canvas tight so needlework can be worked beautifully. Entirely made of wood, this one has only wooden pieces, including the anchors to tighten the angle of the frame which is adjustable. It comes apart easily and stacks into small space for storage or for shipment, and assembles quickly when one wishes to put it to use. A spectacularly beautiful finish and wood, it's pretty when out and in use, as well - like fine furniture. Complete, no flaws to note, no breaks. Elegance of age to the wood. Full measurements noted on the photos.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, it is the type used from 1700s on, and I would date this one mid- late 1800s. Some age to the wood, but no breaks, no repairs. Bun feet on bottom. Beautiful finish to all the wood. Only the embroidery frame for tabletop work or laptop work is sold in this offering. Complete, ready to use or display antique needlework.
