Antique rustic laundry paddle
Antique French Laundry Paddle (Circa early 1900s)
This old wooden laundry paddle likely dates to the early 1900s, a time when tools like this were commonly used in rural France for manual clothes washing. Clothes would be soaked in water - often in a washtub or at a communal washhouse (lavoir) - then beaten or agitated with a paddle to loosen dirt and stains before being rinsed.
