Art Deco Wrought Iron and Brass Wall-Mounted Magazine or Letter Rack by Carion

About the Item

Rare, late Arts and Crafts or early Art Deco French made letter or postcard rack. If you are a collector of rare and highly decorative, well made antiques then this practical size card or small newsletter rack for wall mounting could be perfect for your home / collection. This beautifully hand-crafted wall letter rack with its typical French, hand-forged wrought iron flowers is a joy to use and look at, but what makes this piece really stand out is ofcourse the wonderfully detailed brass plaque. It displays two very cool, 'humanized' frogs sitting on water lilies in a pond. One is reading the afternoon paper and the other is not looking to happy with what he or she is hearing. Or maybe the other is not looking to happy, because of the lack of attention. Either way, this work of beauty is signed by A. Carion, which possibly was the next generation in the master metal workers family of Francois Carion. If you like this stylish and top quality made antique as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 11.5 x 12 x 3.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

  • Antique Wall / Corner Coat Rack w Carved Rams & Embossed Leather by M.J. Slager
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique and highly decorative, work of art coat rack. When we find an antique that is this good in terms of its design AND in terms of the quality of the workmanship then the first thing we do is to look for a signature. And we were really (and pleasantly) surprised to find the signature of MJ Slager in the far right, bottom corner. Only once before have we seen and owned and sold another stunning antique by this highly skilled artist. And when you realize that there have never been any other pieces of this artist available on the internet anywhere (apart from the stunning folding screen that we sold via 1stdibs and that you can see in image 19 of this listing) then you will understand how special it was for us that this coat rack by MJ Slager too landed on our path. Thinking of the odds of this happening, we can only describe it as a blessing. Like we described in that previous listing: when you look at the beauty, the detail and the overal workmanship it is unbelievable that such a skilled artist did not go on and have a bigger career. As more often has been the case here in Holland, maybe the first world war had something to do with it. So this antique coat rack is unique for more reasons than one, but one of them is the design.

  • Antique Arts & Crafts Wall Coat Rack w. Inlaid Komodo Dragon & Ancient Fish
    Located in Lisse, NL
    One of a kind coatrack with inlaid geometrical patterns and unique animal 'sculptures'. With the Arts & Crafts era being one of our favourites, we are always thrilled to find antiques from that era. Especially ones that we have never seen before and that we never expect to see again. We could not be more thrilled to find this unique and pure Dutch Arts and Crafts coat rack and the fact that it is in such amazing condition made us even happier. Finding top quality antiques in this incredibly condition is getting ever harder. This large size but undeep coat rack has an amazing patina, it comes with a set of four perfect brass hooks and several smaller ones as well. They all have the perfect patina and the circular mirror too is the original one and certainly in good enough condtion for you to check your good looks before leaving. However, what makes this remarkable Arts and Crafts work of beauty stand out from anything we ever saw is the combination of geometrical inlays and the unique animal 'sculptures'. Around the turn of the century (so between 1890 and 1910) many Europeans first started to learn about exotic animals in countries far away. The artisan whom created this work of art coat rack must have heard about or seen a first photo of a komodo dragon...
