Denmark, 1829
The mangle board is a traditional tool that was used in Denmark and other Nordic countries from the Middle Ages through the 19th century. Its primary function was to smooth and press clothes, particularly linens, after washing. Often richly decorated with carvings and colors, mangle boards were considered essential household tools. They were frequently given as gifts, especially wedding presents, and were often personalized with the owner’s initials and a date. The handles of these boards could be shaped into various forms, including figures like horses, making them both functional and decorative. Today, they are highly sought-after collectibles and stand as symbols of traditional Danish craftsmanship.
