Vintage bentwood hat and coat rack with brass accents. The style is reminiscent of that pioneered in the 19th century by German-Austrian cabinet maker Michael Thonet (1796 – 1871). It’s characterized by the use of wood (often beech or elm) that has been steamed and bent into elegant, fluid curves. Becoming popular in the late 19th through early 20th centuries, the style falls within the Art Nouveau aesthetic which favored organic, flowing lines. Sometimes called a “French bistro” style rack, it’s designed for function, featuring multiple hooks for coats and hats, and a basket or “cage” area at the bottom for gloves, scarves and small purses. The balanced symmetry and curved lines give the piece a timeless, classic look that works well in a variety of interior styles, from traditional to mid-century to bohemian. I can’t be certain of the exact time period when this piece was manufactured; only that it fits within the aforementioned aesthetic.
The rack features pegged construction and measures 32″ tall x 27.5″ at its widest x 8″ deep from mounting surface; the caged area at the bottom measures 5″ deep x 7.75″ tall in the front x 24.5″ at its widest. It’s in excellent used vintage condition with a small split area on the left and a place on the right where a horizontal peg has broken off, but is still very secure–see last image.
Unique addition to the mud room, dressing area or kitchen.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
