About the Item

Antique Swedish Mangle Board Love Token with Carvings from 1785. Made in Sweden. Swedish folk art board with a carved handle for mangling, dated 1785. These wooden boards were used to smoothe and press linen before the invention of modern irons. Damp linen was wrapped around a roller and then the board was rocked back and forth over it to press out wrinkles. The handle is often carved in the shape of a horse. In Scandinavia these mangle boards were a typical gift made or commissioned by a young man for his wife to be. Typically carved with the their initials and date or year of engagement. This particular board features a large carved plant with flowers in a vase/urn. Also the initials "MLD" and "1785". Richly decorated with various colours. The carved handle has wonderful wear and patina. Good original condition with lovely patina. Small older holes from bores.
