Hmm looks vintage! That detail is beautiful. Could you email the old owner of the store?

there are ironing board hangers that can be screwed to the back of a solid door or wall or try inside a wardrobe and save the ironing for a long session less often so that you only have to set up the big ironing board occasionally ...i also have a small folding ironing board that can be used on top of the kitchen bench or table in emergencies but our best decision was to reduce the amount of ironing by installing a hanging rod above the washer (a simple metal shower curtain track with DIY telescopic attachment about $20 from big hardware) and i hang up all "ironables" and careful folding straight off the line or out of the dryer always aiming to avoid a basket of crushed clean clothes that have to be ironed,

Happy Easter to you as well, I would try your local second hand building material yard, old doors etc, they quite often have bits and pieces. Elraco is an online store in Sth Australia, excellent to deal with https://elraco.com.au/index.php/escutcheons-c-28_1288_1294?page=2&sort=2a
