HOW COOL AND FUNCTIONAL IS THIS?
ESTATE SALE!
This vintage Sheila Maid
®
Hanging Clothes Dryer is from an estate of a 92 year-old
British
lady who is moving back to the U.K. to live with family. She has asked me to sell some of her items, and this is one of them. She's so adorable, she even saved the original instructions!
Made in the U.K. this is an original Sheila Maid
®
C
lothes Airer (dryer) in a rich cobalt blue enameled cast iron. It features 4 kiln dried pine rails, 2 rack ends, 2 pullies (ceiling mount), jute rope, matching cast iron wall cleat, AND original hanging instructions -
COMPLETE
to hang and start using. The wood rails show some patina (darkened wood) - after all, this item is over 35 year old, so it's to be expected, but no cracks whatsoever in the wood. End racks are enameled cast iron in cobalt blue, exquisite industrial manufacturing, only the the British can do.
Can be hung inside or outside (under cover) but I would recommend coating the rails with a sealant such as polyurethane if intended to use outside. The wood is NOT finished for outside exposure, but they are smooth and ready for inside use.
Measurements of parts:
Rack ends: 15 1/2" wide by 6 1/4" high
Rails: 54" long x 1 1/4" wide x 9/16" thick
Single Pulley: 2 3/4" wide x 7/8" deep x 5" high
Double Pulley: 2 3/4" wide x 1 1/2" deep x 5" high
Wall Cleat: 4" high x 1" wide
Beautiful, vintage condition, with very minimal scratches or chips.
Makes such a statement in a laundry room, and extremely efficient for space and energy saving. Can be used for drying laundry, small rugs, shoes, even to dry herbs and flowers.
Perfect for any décor - Can be used for farmhouse,
country style, lodge, cabin, traditional, so many options! It doesn't have style limitations - it's a functional piece much like your washer and dryer.
