Description from the seller

Victorian wall towel holder from England – circa 1850
Rare Victorian-era wall-mounted towel rack, made of brass and glass.
Coming from England, it dates back to around the middle of the 19th century (circa 1850).
The brass structure features a splendid original patina that testifies to the authenticity and age of the object.

Equipped with two transparent glass rods, probably hand-blown, fixed to a brass base via articulated supports.
These supports allow a certain degree of lateral movement, making it practical as well as decorative.

Originally used for towels or scarves, it is now also perfect as a decorative accessory in vintage bathrooms or retro environments.

Good overall condition with signs consistent with age. The glass is intact. Original patina on the brass.
Materials: glass and brass
Era: circa 1850
Style: Vittoriano
Origin: England
Measurements: Total length approximately 44 x 7 cm (insert the exact measurement if available)

A collectible object with great decorative charm.
