About the Item

This exquisite vintage toast rack, designed in the shape of a graceful swan, was crafted in Italy in the 1970s. Made from silver-plated metal, it features a delightful blend of elegance and whimsy. The surface has developed a charming patina over time, accentuating its vintage character. The rack includes a removable insert for holding toast slices, making it adaptable for various uses – without the insert, it transforms into a sophisticated hall tray for keys, jewelry, or other small items. In traditional dining, toast racks were used to keep toast crisp by allowing air circulation, ensuring a perfect texture for leisurely breakfasts. This Italian swan toast rack is more than just tableware; it’s a stylish piece of functional art that brings charm and practicality to any setting. Perfect for collectors and those who appreciate the artistry of vintage Italian design.

Iron Nutcracker in the Shape of a Cockatoo, 19th Century, Poland
Located in Hamburg, DE
This rare and whimsical 19th-century nutcracker from Poland is crafted from solid cast iron and takes the form of a stylized cockatoo. A nut can be placed in the bird’s beak to be cracked, while a second functional element is integrated into the center of the body – making it a playful yet practical object. The detailed shaping of the feathers and the expressive form reflect the fine craftsmanship of the period and lend the piece a sculptural quality that elevates it far beyond a mere kitchen tool. Nutcracker collecting is a rich and varied field within the world of antiques. While the brightly painted wooden figures from the Erzgebirge are widely known, earlier examples were often made of metal and featured imaginative animal or human forms. Iron nutcrackers...
