AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 3 antique cast-iron irons with floral relief decorations – first half of the 20th century
Description
An interesting lot consisting of three antique irons made of heavy metal, testimony to household utensils used before the diffusion of modern electric irons.
The three items feature different shapes and finishes. Two are particularly decorative thanks to the presence of rose floral motifs modelled in relief on the top part of the soleplate, while the third has a geometric/figurative motif and letters in relief.
The handles are made of shaped metal sheet and fixed directly to the body of the iron. One of the three features a strongly bent handle, a characteristic clearly visible in the photographs.
The surface retains a pronounced dark patina and oxidation, consistent with age and original use. It is precisely this unrestored preservation that makes the lot interesting also as a decorative ensemble for rustic environments, kitchens, collections of domestic utensils, and period displays.
