Antique Early Stove Top Curling Iron

Antique early stove-top curling iron, fashioned as a long-handled pair of metal tongs with tapered, pointed ends designed to be heated before use. The simple construction and looped finger handles reflect an early form of domestic hairdressing equipment, prized today for its utilitarian design and historical character.

• Dark aged metal with a naturally weathered, oxidised patina
• Long tapered curling ends and distinctive open-loop handles
• No visible maker’s mark
• Condition consistent with age and use, including surface wear, discoloration and oxidation; the tool retains its original form
