A wonderfully characterful antique industrial paper clip board featuring an original cast iron 10 Inch Paper Clip mounted to a wooden backing board.

Dating from the early twentieth century, this practical office accessory would originally have been used in shops, warehouses, schools, offices or workshops to securely hold invoices, notices, correspondence, plans and memoranda. Today it makes a striking decorative piece, equally at home in a farmhouse kitchen, home office, studio or industrial-inspired interior.

The substantial cast iron clip retains a rich aged patina and still functions perfectly, firmly gripping papers, notes, photographs and ephemera. The board is ready to hang using the integral loop and displays beautifully as both a functional and decorative object.

A superb example of utilitarian industrial design with authentic age and character.
