Antique Danish Weaving Loom Four Harness six treadle Counterbalance Floor Loom, approx. 26" weaving width. Overall dimensions 32" x 72" x 36" deep. May be a Lervad loom; quite a charming antique loom. The loom comes with a 10 dent reed (some rust but useable). Wood condition needs a little TLC. 1 spoke on the brake gear is missing (not a functional issue). Quite an elegant loom in its day, this danish loom will be available for $750 after we make some adjustments. (You can save $100 by adjusting the horses and harnesses yourself.) Note that the photo shows only 2 of the 4 harnesses, and heddles are not shown. This loom can be picked up at our Sturgeon Bay, WI shop, which is our recommendation. (Crating and shipping would require trucking, at some expense. No rush shipments.) (aulervad)

The fine print-
No credit cards on used items - cash or money order only. Used items may be shipped unassembled. We will provide you with basic directions for assembly. All equipment on this page is sold as is. No warranties are made as to the age, or ethnic origin of antique wheels or looms; all claims, however, are made in good faith. We have supplied the information that was available when we discovered this equipment. Any repairs or replacements made in our shop, or divulged to us by the previous owners, are included in the descriptions above. Antiques and used items are AS FOUND, with minimal cosmetic repairs to them, in order to preserve their original value; antique and used items are sold AS IS. This means the finish may be minimal and there may be some chips, holes or defects in the wood, which, except when noted, will not affect the useability of the piece. We hope you feel, as we do, that this only adds to the character!
Please note that we take no responsibility for any arrangements or disputes between buyers and sellers on any consignment items. Our sole involvement in listing items posted on this page as consignments is to provide the advertiser with web space, and we have no responsibility for the transaction; appearance of the ad on this page is no endorsement of the item being offered, or of the honesty of the consignee.
