A copy of Brødrene Dahl’s toilet roll holder.
Toilet paper in abundance
Roll holders for hanging
At the ironmonger’s in 1927, you can buy all sorts of household goods — from rolling pins and porcelain to a bag of nails. The assortment also includes an elegant toilet roll holder.
The roll holder
From the late nineteenth century, toilet paper was sold on rolls, which created a need for a holder. In the 1920s, the Danish sanitary wholesaler Brødrene Dahl sold refined toilet roll holders bearing its own logo. Here at the ironmonger’s, you can buy this holder.
The ironmonger hangs many of its products outside the shop to show its range.
