Elegant freestanding coat rack in golden brass finely chased with light onyx, a tripode base with neoclassical female figures, height 182 cm, depth 40 cm, width 40 cm, weight 20 kg, dating to 1970-1980, in good used condition with minor signs of age and stains.
Description from the seller
Elegant floor-standing hat rack with a classic taste, made of gilded brass finely chased and light onyx turned.
The tripod base is richly decorated with scrolls and raised floral motifs; each foot is embellished with neoclassical-yet-sculpted female figures, which lend movement and a strong sculptural character to the whole. The shaft alternates elements in onyx with warm natural veining and bands in worked brass with caryatids and ornamental details.
The upper part presents arched arms and shaped hooks, also decorated with floral motifs and scrolls, perfect for supporting coats, hats and bags.
Measurements:
• Height about 182 cm
• Base depth (from center to tip of the foot) about 40 cm
Weight: nearly 20 kg, an element that ensures great stability and solidity.
Estimated period: late 19th – early 20th century (circa 1890–1915), in Napoleon III style.
Shipping: the coat rack dismantles into several parts to facilitate transport and is easily reassembled.
An important and scenographic piece, ideal for elegant entrances, studies or environments with a classic, eclectic or Hollywood Regency taste.
Solid structure with natural signs of time that attest to authenticity and vintage charm.
