Description

Wheeler & Wilson Cast Iron Treadle Base — Ornate Twin Pedals, 28"x22.5"x18"

Add timeless vintage character and industrial charm to your space with this authentic Wheeler & Wilson cast iron treadle sewing machine base, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. Renowned for their sturdy, elegantly detailed frames, Wheeler & Wilson bases are prized today for their beauty and versatility.

This base features graceful Art Nouveau scrollwork, twin footplates, and the original flywheel and rod — a testament to exceptional American craftsmanship. Its robust design makes it perfect for upcycling: transform it into a striking entryway table, side table, writing desk, or even a unique bathroom vanity. Many designers also use these bases as distinctive plant stands or display pedestals, bringing a touch of history into modern decor.

Whether you restore it to working order or repurpose it as a one-of-a-kind furniture piece, this treadle base offers endless creative possibilities and a genuine piece of sewing machine heritage.

Condition:
In fair antique condition with fading, rust, oxidation, and finish wear loss consistent with age and use. The treadle and wheel rotate but are very stiff. Please see all photos for detailed condition.
