Description«I like the difference of shape these two irons have, they are both probably 19th century but the bigger of the two is a more advanced design with better ergonomics, though it’s hard to imagine what it would have been like to handle these primitive products. It reminds me of the question which journalists keep asking me: Why do we need new chairs? As you can see here and as you would see with any chair from that period, there have since been changes for the better and in the future there will be further improvements for both chairs and irons.»
