Details & History:

An exceptional example of Belle Époque design, this French gilt brass coat rack showcases the ornate craftsmanship and refined detailing that defined late-19th-century decorative arts. The elegant twisted column rises from an intricately cast tripod base adorned with acanthus leaves and scrollwork, culminating in a sculptural top fitted with six scrolling hooks for coats, hats, or scarves.

Each element — from the finely chased brass detailing to the richly aged patina — speaks to the artistry of French metalworkers during an era that celebrated both function and ornament. The warm golden tone of the brass, softened with time, adds a subtle glow that complements both traditional and modern interiors.

Originally designed for Parisian foyers and salons, such coat racks offered guests a refined welcome — practical in purpose yet deeply decorative in presence. Today, it remains a distinguished statement piece, ideal for an entryway, dressing room, or office corner that calls for a touch of Continental grandeur.

Condition: Excellent antique condition with light wear and a beautiful patina consistent with age. Structurally sound and stable.
