This counterbalance rug loom has a 34 inch weaving width, four harness, 10 treadles. Made in 1934 by JL Hammet, all original parts, still works fine. Even has the original hemp cloth aprons on the warping mechanisms. I have used it a few times, but it is a large, heavy loom that takes up floor space, and I have moved and need to pass it along to someone who can enjoy it. I have left all the original parts on as they worked fine. Needs some additional steel heddles for larger projects, and will need balancing once set up. This is a great, great loom. It even looks good just sitting on the floor. It really is a beauty. Will ship anywhere in the continental US. Email to graphicz@i-55.com or call 985-510-1568 if interested. I can email pictures. Price is $1000 negotiable. Heddles and other parts are standard and available. I have replaced some of the tie ups with texsolve to make tie up easier. Great studio loom.
Thanks,
