Celebrate the ingenuity of early domestic life with this authentic antique handmade wire laundry peg. Carefully formed from a single length of heavy-gauge metal wire, each peg was individually crafted by hand, resulting in subtle variations that make every example unique.

Displaying a rich aged patina and wonderful rustic character, this antique laundry peg is equally at home in a collection of primitive household antiques or styled as part of a farmhouse display.
