Small Early 1900s Renaissance Revival Wall Coat Rack with Carved Mask Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Antique oak wall coat rack with incredibly well carved head sculptures.
This marvelous antique Dutch coat rack is special, practical and highly decorative. It is special, because of the quality of the unique carvings and its excellent condition. It is very practical, because of its small size, its strong brass metal hooks and the ease with which it can be mounted on your wall (via a pair of strong metal hooks on the back). It is highly decorative, because of the wonderfully hand carved details in the Renaissance Style including the three head sculptures. Especially these Renaissance heads with their characteristic hairdo, hats and colars are carved with marvelous detail. This can only be the work of a master carver and the beautiful patina on this antique work of beauty also is second to none. The handcrafted, brass, Gothic design coat hooks...
