Rattan Coat Hook For Sale on 1stDibs

Choose from an assortment of styles, material and more with respect to the rattan coat hook you’re looking for at 1stDibs. Frequently made of natural fiber, rattan and bamboo, every rattan coat hook was constructed with great care. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer rattan coat hook, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. A rattan coat hook, designed in the Mid-Century Modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. You’ll likely find more than one rattan coat hook that is appealing in its simplicity, but Franco Albini and Franca Helg and Bonacina produced versions that are worth a look.

Finding the Right Coat-racks-stands for You

Your guests might have to endure all kinds of harsh climes to get to your housewarming party, so let’s make sure their trusty overcoats and umbrellas have a home. Shop the antique and vintage coat racks and stands on 1stDibs today.

Coat racks, umbrella stands, wall-mounted hooks for outerwear — they’ve long served a practical purpose. In the days of travel by horse or foot, a guest might arrive on your doorstep bedraggled, windblown and often dripping with rain. While transportation has thankfully improved since then, a coat rack in the entryway or foyer of your home is still the beacon it was back then: It says, “Come in, where it’s dry and warm. Hang up your coat and stay a while.”

Coat stands are among history’s fairly rudimentary ideas, so it’s difficult to point to the original inventor of this eternally functional fixture, but Thomas Jefferson was said to have fashioned one of his own at Monticello. Jefferson, who would’ve made a great interior designer, placed a long wooden pole in his closet that was adorned with spokes from which his coats and other garments could be hung. The simplicity of Jefferson’s coat-tree is echoed in designs from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The timeless convenience of a wooden coat rack has endured. While there are striking Art Deco coat stands made of oak and walnut that would meet your mudroom needs well, some of the product designers behind what we now call mid-century modern coat stands turned to materials other than wood, working frequently with plastic and chrome to create unconventional alternatives. Simpler and pared-down coat stands of the mid-20th century were occasionally so interesting in form that they could pass as minimalist sculptures when not in use. Some designers, such as Jacques Adnet, helped to redefine what these classic furnishings could look like, integrating saddle leather and brass and sometimes even horseshoes for his wall hooks and racks.

Although a coat rack is undoubtedly a practical investment, we know that fun comes along with functionality. There is plenty to explore in the collection of antique, vintage and contemporary coat racks and stands on 1stDibs, so go ahead — hang up your coat and stay a while.

Questions About Rattan Coat Hook
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    A good spacing for coat hooks depends on personal preferences and existing space. Ideally, there should be at least 8 to 12 inches between each coat hook so that the clothes have enough breathing space. Shop for antique and vintage coat hooks on 1stDibs.
