Wooden plank to calandrer

Plank to calandrer. An instrument used by women to cold-iron wet laundry after washing. This ironing technique appeared around 1550 in eastern europe. The wet fabric is wrapped around a wooden cylinder and ironed under the pressure of a handle board that prints a back-and-forth motion with a roller. Well smoothed and stretched, lay on a flat surface, the linen could dry without folding. Beautiful and rare board that can be diverted from its primary use. It's up to you to invent a new life for him. Beautiful sculpture work.
