This mid-20th century brass coal iron stands out with its unique, steamboat-inspired shape. Before electric irons became common, charcoal-powered irons were a staple in Indonesian homes. Filled with hot coals, these irons maintained consistent heat for pressing clothes. Vent holes around the lower part and the side opening slot allowed steam and smoke to escape during use. Today, this functional relic of the past makes a striking decorative piece—perfect for rustic or vintage-inspired interiors.
