Antique cast iron flat iron — small sad iron with rosette mark, vintage country house decor

A small piece of everyday history made of solid cast iron: This antique iron — a so-called flat iron — was once heated on a hot stove and smoothed shirts, cloths, and Sunday best. Its pointed shape, curved handle, and fine rosette cast mark still give it a dignified character today.
