Vintage Universal "Deluxe" Sewing Machine in Table

Item Details

This Mid-Century Modern sewing machine cabinet features a functional dual-purpose design, doubling as a writing desk when closed. The cabinet is finished in a warm walnut veneer, notably featuring a decorative parquetry ‘checkerboard’ pattern on the single faux-drawer front, accented by a minimalist brass bar pull. The piece is supported by four sleek, tapered conical legs characteristic of the era, each terminating in brass-toned ferrules. Housed within the cabinet is a ‘Universal Deluxe Family’ sewing machine, a high-quality Japanese import of the post-war period. The machine is finished in glossy black enamel with traditional gold-toned scrollwork and is powered by an integrated 115V AC-DC motor. The construction utilizes machine-cut joinery typical of mid-20th-century American industrial manufacture.
