About the Item

Danish mangle board (clothing and bedding press) dated 1814. It is made from oak wood which is hand carved and richly decorated abstract geometric flowers and branches with leaves and an extraordinarily detailed horse as handle. It shows the initials KPD and the year 1814. ………………… The wooden mangle board has a long tradition in Europe and especially the Scandinavian countries and goes back to at least the mid 15th century. In the 17th you find more richly decorated mangle boards and painted with one to three colors. They now became a courtship gift offered by the man to his bride-to-be prior to the wedding day. The production of mangle board peaked at the end of the 18th century. ……………………… The mangle board is in a very good condition, especially considering its age. All is original. Very lovely patina!
