Antique Danish mangle board (clothing and bedding press) .
It is made from wood which is hand carved with a rich decoration with flower blossoms. It is decorated with colorful paint.
The wooden mangle board has a long tradition in Europe and especially the Scandinavian countries and goes back to at least the mid 15th century. In the 17th you find more richly decorated mangle boards and painted with one to three colors. They now became a courtship gift offered by the man to his bride-to-be prior to the wedding day. The production of mangle board peaked at the end of the 18th century.
