12 Antique Sewing Machine Pictures
I am sharing a fun collection of Antique Sewing Machine Pictures today. Most are Black and White clipart. I would love to have one of these beautiful old fashioned machines for real, they are often quite decorative … many with striking gold lettering on black metal. And even the cabinets can be quite pretty! I think you could use these to make some fun DIY Wall Decor for a Sewing or Craft Room!
Antique Sewing Machines in Cabinets
This is such an unusual looking cabinet! It has quite a small tabletop with a single drawer along the side. The metal base is so decorative looking, with two tall Flowers on either side of it!
This illustration shows a machine that looks quite small, in relation to the table. The table has 4 small drawers and the cover for the machine appears to be sitting on the floor.
Here we have a cute little Advertising Trade Card, that shows a Domestic brand Machine in it’s lovely wooden cabinet.
What a fun Old Fashioned Sewing Machine Image above! This one was scanned from a rare Antique Printer’s book that dates to around Circa 1880′s. Shown above is a black and white image of an old time Sewing Machine. The Machine has 3 cute built in sewing drawers along the side and a wooden lid to cover it. I love the little floating hand that’s displaying the lid … so quirky!
Here is another fun Antique Sewing Machine Picture! This was also scanned from a rare Antique Printer’s book. Shown above is a black and white image of an old time Sewing Machine. The Machine has two built in sewing drawers along the side and a wooden cover over top of the machine.
Above is an interesting sewing machine from a 1920’s Catalog. Shown here is an Old Fashioned Sewing Machine and a Sewing Table/Cabinet to go with it. The feet are very interesting and large. The treadle is large. This one looks sturdy and made to last. So nifty and decorative!
This is a really fun advertising trade card for a Crown sewing machine. Such a cute piece of Ephemera!
Women Sewing Images
Here we see a small woodcut image of a lady busily working away on some fabric. Perhaps it is some clothing for her, or a family member.
Antique Sewing Machines
This is a very pretty and classy Antique Sewing Machine graphic from an old Wanamaker’s Dept Store Catalog! There was no date on the catalog, but I’m guessing it dates around 1880 – 1890. Normally when you see these old Sewing Machines, they are black with gold on them. This one appears to have been light colored, perhaps white or ivory. So lovely!
Shown here is an Old Fashioned Sewing Machine from the 1920’s Catalog. Look at the detail shown here of the painted scrollwork and ornament on the machine body and the plate. It has the name “Carolina” across the top. I wonder if that is the maker or the name of the owner. Just beautiful!
Here is the latest addition to this collection. This one is from an Antique Printer’s book in my collection. It’s actually a Singer machine, but I had to remove the name since they are still in business. I’m sure it had lots of lovely gold details on it!
I hope you enjoyed this curated collection. You might also like our Best Vintage Steampunk Images HERE!

I learned to sew on a machine that looked like this. Once(when I was about 5 years old) I sewed a needle right through my finger and it just stuck there. My older sister heard me yelling, and grabbed the wheel and backed the needle out. It didn’t hurt as bad as it sounds. Overall, I have good memories of the old treadle sewing machine. I sure wasn’t happy when I took HomeEc in high school and had to use an electric sewing machine. It was too fast!

I love this! I just bought a mini sewing machine & “carolina” is so close to my name. Not sure what I will use this image for, but will be saving for the future!
