About the Item

A rare and exquisitely crafted 19th-century olive wood plate rack, showcasing meticulous hand-turning and richly detailed spindle work. This sculptural piece features a rhythmic arrangement of finely lathe-turned rods adorned with decorative rings and notched bands, all contained within a rectilinear frame capped by a series of petite finials. The natural warmth and grain variation of the olive wood are on full display, offering both visual and tactile richness. Originally designed as a plate holder or drying rack, this piece now serves as both a functional and decorative object — ideal for showcasing fine china, storing mail, or as a unique bookshelf riser. Its compact scale and delicate proportions make it a standout accent in country, folk, or rustic interiors.
