About the Item

Antique Danish or Scandinavian mangle board (clothing and bedding press), dated 1792 it has survived more than 230 years and still it´s full of charm. It is made from oak wood has a horse as handle which is typical for Danish mangle boards. The horse has a fine expression with decoration and the mangle board is richly decorated with hand-carved and painted geometric patterns. The original colors are quite well-preserved. The wooden mangle board has a long tradition in Europe and especially in the Scandinavian countries. It goes back to at least the mid 15th century. In the 17th century 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 boards peaked at the end of the 18th century. This mangle board might have been longer at some point in its life. It shows wear from age, but it is quite sturdy and still full of charm. The handle is very smooth from having been in many people´s hands through its more than 230 years life time. There are the usual tiny holes from borers.
