     The Weaving Machines of the Factory Bassereau     
 
 
Maurice Dufresne has almost identically reconstructed a workshop of the Bassereau factories of Tours, which were in production from 1902 to 1988.

Everything is here; the office of the workshop foreman, the accounting books, the time clock, the arrangement of the weaving machines with bobins and finished products.

A number of the looms are pedal operated dating back to the 14th century.
 

Only eight of the original weaving machines are not present in the Museum Dufresne because they were offered to the city of Tours at the time the factory was closed.
