Scandinavian atmosphere for your home Danish Amager ( Pyramid ) display shelf & mangle board set From the middle of the 18th century until the middle of the 19th century, the pyramid shelves were incredibly popular among Danish farmers. The shape was well suited as an exhibition shelf, & here the farmers put everything they wanted to display, says Rikke Ruhe, museum inspector at the Frilandsmuseet under the National Museum. The Triangle shelfs is typically used for knick-knacks but can be used as a spice rack in the kitchen The mangle board (sometimes called mangling board or smoothing board) is one of the most poignant & interesting objects of folk art, particularly but not exclusively Scandinavian folk art. An ancestor of the iron & cousin of the laundry bat, this old domestic implement was used to press or smooth laundry, i.e., to remove the folds after washing. The mangle board was a single piece of carved wood (usually oak, beech or pine), used in conjunction with a kind of rolling pin (or roller) around which a slightly damp material (towel, cloth, sheet, etc.) was tightly rolled.
