A spectacular vintage decorative brass coal iron featuring a gorgeous porcelain (ceramic) handle beautifully hand-painted with a classic blue and white Delft style floral pattern. This charming piece is designed as a faithful replica of 19th-century antique charcoal irons, complete with keyhole-shaped ventilation side vents and a functional hinged rear door.
Crafted from high-quality polished brass with a substantial weight of 492 grams, this iron was made in Europe (likely Portugal or Holland) during the 1970s–1980s for ornamental purposes. It has never been used and remains in pristine, clean vintage condition, showcasing a brilliant golden metallic luster. A wonderful accent piece for a country farmhouse kitchen, open shelving, a cozy fireplace mantel, or as an upscale vintage desk paperweight.
Style Tip: This iron perfectly matches Delft blue-handled copper and brass kettles. Check out our shop for a matching Portuguese kettle to complete the set!
