An authentic antique sad iron, also known as a flat iron. These fascinating relics from a bygone era offer a glimpse into the ingenuity of household tools from the past.
Crafted from a single, substantial piece of cast iron, our sad irons live up to their name – derived from the Old English word for "solid." This robust construction speaks to their durability and the important role they played in keeping fabrics neatly pressed.
Weighing approximately 7 pounds, this iron has a satisfying heft that underscores its' quality. Imagine the effort involved in heating these on a stove or open fire! It was common practice to use multiple irons, rotating a hot one in as another cooled – a testament to resourcefulness.
Today, these "solid" survivors have found new life as beloved collectibles. Their rustic charm makes them wonderful decorative accents, adding a touch of vintage appeal to any space. They also function wonderfully as unique and sturdy doorstops.
