EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting selection of sad irons and companion appliances, as captured in an antique catalogue from around the year 1900. The central figure of this photograph is a sad iron, a common household item used for pressing and smoothing wrinkles from clothing. The sad iron's name comes from the iron's appearance when it has cooled down, as the iron's once shiny surface becomes dull and sad-looking. Surrounding the sad iron is a collection of other essential ironing tools. A polishing iron, with its long, slender shape, was used to give a high gloss finish to delicate fabrics. A spirit iron, with its unique design featuring a hollow body filled with water, was used to press and shape damp fabric, making it easier to iron and giving the fabric a crisper finish. A hat iron, specifically designed for ironing brims and crowns, is also featured. The Dalli box iron, with its distinctive square shape and rounded edges, was used for crimping and gauffering, adding decorative textures to clothing. Additionally, the photograph includes curling tongs and goffering irons. Curling tongs were used to create curls and waves in hair, while goffering irons were used to create intricate, raised patterns on fabric. These appliances were essential for achieving the fashionable and polished look of the time. This charming photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the domestic appliances that were once a staple in every household. The care and attention to detail that went into creating these items is evident, making for a fascinating look into the history of ironing and home appliances.
