Coat hangers used to be an absolutely necessary addition to any household. There were many types, from very decorative organic forms to more modern and simple shapes. This particular piece combines the traditional craft of bentwood with the rather modern approach of using minimal forms and shapes. The main middle part is effortlessly hold by four bended legs with a cycle for holding umbrellas on their top. The upper part has got five C shaped hangers for holding the coats.

Our experienced craftsman has carried the restoration to the highest standard, reviving the beautiful natural pattern on the all parts which were subsequently finished by hand in Shellac varnish. There is absolutely minimal wear and tear gained over the years and in general the coat hanger is in great vintage condition. Reference : 252257
