rare folding 10 peg wooden hat/coat rack
Item number: WOO01111620
Price: $275

This is a folding/expanding hat or coat rack. It is made of pine, looks
to be kauri pine to me. It is a reasonable size....each arm is about 46
cms long, and stretched out it stands 97 cms wide by about 26 cms high.
It is early 20th century, with the original finish and is in good
condition. There are a couple of little knicks in it and it has had a
split repaired but is still in very good condition. The arms and hat
pegs are onviously hand-turned. Each of the pegs is fitted with a brass
stud....I do not know if this is surfcae deep or extends through the
whole peg to give it strength. The pegs are about 8-8.5 cms long.
Early hat racks like this are very rare, in such
good condition as well. The hat rack can be fitted to the wall, a door
or to a wardrobe. You may need a carpenter, and if you do I can get the
work done for you are a very reasonable rate, but it really isn't so
difficult and any handy person can do it. Alternatively you can also
fit the rack so it can be taken down when not in use.
