Description: | This is a crimping machine. To work the machine you turned the handle which made the two rolls go round. These would draw a piece of clothing through the gaps. The shape of the rolls put regular creases into the clothing. The creases were then sewn to produce fine pleats. These machines were popular in the late 1800s when items like pleated ruffs were fashionable. This is on loan from the Society of Antiquaries. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East clothes home life | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
