WOW, that is beautiful and in such nice shape. When folded can you pull a nail anchor on your sewing room wall and hang it there. Or when folded up lean it up against something that you wouldn't have to move all the time. You could drape some fabric on it that you love, a quilt, change it seasonally, pin some applique pieces on it...let your imagination go and try and visualize how you can make it charming. If you had a laundry room you could also hang it there. There are so many possibilities for it. The last one I saw that I really liked was $150 so I guess they really wanted to keep it as I wasn't going to pay that price for it.
Another thought if you had enough room to just set it up somewhere in your sewing room you could used it to put various things on. You could find a neat old vintage iron and set it on top of it with a pile of nice fabrics. I could go on and on but I think you get what I'm saying.
Oops, just reread your thread and you say you don't have room for it....well hanging on a wall if possible seems like your best choice.
Congratulations for having such a lovely piece of history.
