Three Tomado bottle racks from the Netherlands in mid-century modern style, dating to 1958–1965, made of plastified steel wire in red and grey, consisting of two six-bottle racks (36 cm high, 31.5 cm wide, 20.5 cm deep, 700 g each) and one three-bottle rack (36 cm high, 31.5 cm wide, 10.5 cm deep, 550 g).
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three very decorative, functional and original Tomado bottle racks (milk racks). There are two racks for 6 bottles each and one rack for 3 bottles. The two largest racks are 36 cm high, 31.5 cm wide, 20.5 cm deep and weigh 700 g. The small rack is 36 cm high, 31.5 cm wide and 10.5 cm deep and weighs 550 g. The racks date from the 1950s or 1960s.
Especially that color combination gives these Tomado racks an incredibly attractive mid-century vintage look!
The Tomado company (van der Togt MAssa production Dordrecht) still exists and makes a wide range of items. It is a Dutch company founded in 1923 by the brothers van der Togt in Dordrecht.
What began in 1923 with the production of wallpaper hooks evolved into an extensive collection of household items made from tin-coated wire; coasters, strainers and potato mashers.
In the early 1950s the wire items were varnished/plastified, including clothes drying racks and dish racks, and in 1958 the iconic Tomado bookcase hit the market, which today has a place in the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
These racks still look good, but they have quite a few rust spots on the bottom. The metal is still very sturdy, but the rust has penetrated the plastic (see photos). All three racks have this. They are ordinary signs of use for objects that have been used so long and stood outside in wind and weather with empty and full bottles. They are still 100% stable. They are also functional. You can still put milk bottles in them, but how nice to have such a rack in your kitchen or room with a number of wine bottles in it. It is a particularly functional ornament in any interior, and of course a conversation piece.
The racks are carefully packed and insured when shipped.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
