Description

An interesting antique late 18th or early 19th century Scandinavian folk art carved wood mangle board or smoothing board. This old domestic implement was used to press and iron laundry, to remove creases after washing. It would have been used in conjunction with a wooden roller. It features a carved handle in the form of a horse, as well as profusely chip carved with all over geometric patterns, and painted in a red ochre colour. It is a fascinating piece of folk art from a bygone era. Stock Code: 2106
