Description from the seller

Lot of 6 vintage cobbler’s anvils / shoe lasts in iron – 20th century – Trade tools

Interesting lot consisting of 6 original vintage cobbler’s anvils / shoe lasts, made of iron and originating from an Italian artisanal / professional environment.

These tools were used in cobbler’s workshops and shoe-making laboratories for shaping, repairing, and working on footwear. Their distinctive ergonomic form is designed to follow the contours of a shoe, allowing precise work on different parts of the footwear.

The pieces feature a solid and heavy construction typical of professional tools from the 20th century. The surfaces display an authentic aged patina with natural oxidation and traces of original paint, confirming their age and previous use.

From an aesthetic perspective, these objects represent an excellent example of functional industrial design connected to traditional craftsmanship, appreciated today for both collecting and decorative purposes.
