Antique bentwood coat rack and umbrella stand (Thonet style), early 20th century
An elegant and imposing bentwood coat rack dating back to the early 20th century. This refined piece perfectly embodies the timeless aesthetic and technical innovation pioneered by Michael Thonet and the Vienna Secession movement.
The frame is masterfully crafted from steam-bent beech wood and features a deep, rich finish (ebony or black walnut effect) that enhances its fluid, sculptural silhouette.
The upper section features a striking tiered crown, with large double-ring coat hooks alternating with smaller hat pegs, arranged symmetrically around a decorative turned finial.
The central shaft extends downward to an integrated umbrella and walking stick stand, featuring elegant scrollwork and divided by harmonious curved elements.
The piece rests on a solid base with four splayed legs, ensuring excellent stability while maintaining a visually light profile.
Thanks to its harmonious combination of form and function, this authentic piece of European design history makes a striking addition to prestigious residential entrances, elegant walk-in closets, or exclusive commercial spaces.
This refined piece is in excellent condition, with minor signs of wear and use.
