Description from the seller
A significant freestanding wooden coat rack, finely carved, crafted in an elegant Rococo style, a clear expression of the decorative taste of the Louis XV era.
The work stands out for its extraordinary sculptural richness, with sinuous, dynamic lines that develop in harmony along the entire structure. The trunk, slender and scenographic, is adorned with soft volutes and ornamental motifs typical of the eighteenth century, which guide the gaze to the central figurative element.
Of particular charm is the presence of the carved putto, a refined artistic detail that gives the piece of furniture a noble and strongly decorative character. The sculpture, crafted with notable formal sensitivity, transforms a functional object into an authentic element of representative furniture.
The upper part, made up of elegantly curved and contoured arms, is designed to accommodate coats, capes, and accessories, perfectly combining aesthetics and practicality. The base, wide and stabilizing, echoes the ornamental language of the whole, ensuring visual balance and structural solidity.
This coat rack represents an ideal choice for entryways, living rooms, studies, or prestigious environments, where it can be appreciated not only for its utility but as a true centerpiece of the space.

The upper section features elegantly curved and shaped arms, designed to accommodate coats, cloaks, and accessories, achieving a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. The wide, stabilizing base echoes the ornamental language of the overall composition, ensuring both visual harmony and structural solidity.
