FAQs

Flatirons, also known as sad irons, were heavy metal devices heated on a hearth or stove and used for pressing clothes before the advent of electricity.

Traditional flatirons typically feature a solid cast iron or steel base, often paired with brass fittings and turned wooden handles to protect the user from heat.

Authentic pieces usually display maker marks, hand-filed surfaces, forging seams, and natural wear consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques.

This piece works well as a decorative accent on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or kitchen hearth, adding industrial texture and historic character to a room.

Preserve the metal by keeping it in a dry environment and applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax to prevent oxidation while maintaining the original surface patina.
