Hard To Find

Found in Montpellier and originally from an atelier in Provence, this 1930s wooden garment rack stood in a workshop where clothes were made, fitted, and finished by hand. The construction is simple: two upright posts, two horizontal rails, a central divider, and sled feet that hold it on the floor. Pieces like this filled small French ateliers between the wars, made by local carpenters for workshops that needed somewhere to hang the day's work. Sylvie places it in a corner of a bedroom with the dresses that come out for spring hanging on it.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

    Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The uprights are oak with a gleaming finish, while the dowels are a lighter wood and remain unfinished. This pieces is very sturdy.
