AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Professional blacksmith's anvil – 10 kg – Forged steel / wrought iron - vintage 1940s
Rare 10 kg collectible anvil – with round hole (Pritchel hole) – Industrial Style / Antique
Splendid and elegant piece for the collection: a historic anvil in [Forged steel / wrought iron] with a compact weight of 10 kg. This lot stands out for its clean and geometric lines, making it a perfect object of industrial art and mid-century modern, as well as a piece of history of artisanal metallurgy. The peculiarity of this anvil is the presence of the only round hole on the top surface (tech term Pritchel hole), a feature highly valued by collectors that denotes a specific vintage use (primarily related to stamping and precision drilling) and that gives the object a minimal, solid, and streamlined aesthetic. A piece of great visual charm, ideal to enrich a collection of antique tools, as an excellent paperweight on a design desk, or as an exclusive furnishing element in lofts and Industrial style environments.
