Step back in time with this image from a 1911 trade catalogue for Harrods Department Store, showcasing an elegant assortment of irons. This Edwardian-era advertisement transports us to a bygone era, where the art of ironing held a place of pride in every household. The catalogue page is filled with a variety of irons, each boasting unique features and designs. The irons range from the simple, with their traditional flat bases and long handles, to the more advanced, such as the 'Dallinette' model with its compact size and foldable handle, making it an ideal travel companion. One iron stands out with its distinctive patent-pending design, featuring a goffering attachment, perfect for creating intricate pleats and ruffles. Another iron showcases prongs with asbestos tips, a popular innovation of the time for even heat distribution and preventing scorching. The irons are accompanied by a selection of accessories, including a sad iron, a tool used for smoothing out wrinkles and creases in fabric, and a page from the catalogue, providing detailed descriptions and pricing information. This trade catalogue offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of household ironmongery during the early 20th century. The intricate designs and innovative features of these irons reflect the importance of presentation and attention to detail in everyday life during the Edwardian era. With the rise of modern appliances, these irons serve as a reminder of the rich history and craftsmanship that once defined the art of ironing.
