Once used to press delicate silk robes, this antique Chinese charcoal iron is richly adorned with raised dragon motifs and brass leaf accents along the handle. A vented spout allowed heat to escape as coals burned inside the basin, giving this tool both beauty and utility. The handle is detailed with two faux stone cabochons, likely added during its export-era transformation into a decorative object. Now unusable due to a base crack, this rare piece remains a stunning example of Chinese metalwork — ideal for display in a curio cabinet or as part of an Asian antiques collection.
Antique Chinese silk iron, likely early-mid 20th c.
