Smoothing Irons
This lot comprises two vintage smoothing irons, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. Constructed from heavy cast iron, these irons were designed to be heated on a stove or over coals and used to press clothing. The handles are designed for gripping and maneuvering the irons across fabric, and the flat surfaces would have provided a smooth finish to garments.
Condition & Collectibility
These smoothing irons exhibit signs of age and use, with surface oxidation and wear consistent with their age. They appear to be original examples, retaining their cast iron construction and handle designs. These irons would be of interest to collectors of antique domestic items, those interested in historical textiles, or those seeking unique decorative pieces.
