Nilus Leclerc Artisat Floor Loom
36” weaving width, 4 harnesses/6 treadles. This one is from 1973, and has a bit of historic dust on it. Needs to be cleaned and bolts tightened and one metal brace straightened and possibly a few nuts replaced, since it has been sitting unused for many years. Comes with two reeds, steel heddles, original tie-up pins, plus sectional beam rakes pieces to upgrade the back beam if you wish. Heavy and strong, the Artisat has a large shed and is good for a weaver who wants a solid loom that takes up minimal space. Both the front and back fold up, so the folded depth is only 14”.
$250
