Selling our collections (hoards) of mostly French vintage items that have been acquired over many years until finally we have no room for more!

We got this from a vide maison at Bar sur Aube in the Champagne region where it had been used to display copper pans and decorative plates in a country kitchen.
We intended to do the same but never got around to fitting it.
Obviously old but of uncertain age, it’s a substantial oak rack with seven ornate brass hooks and an upper shelf.
It’s a good quality apparently hand made piece that is still usable as intended or as a coat hook rack perhaps…
*
In very good vintage condition with some wear but no damage - please examine photographs carefully for condition.
In more or less as found condition, this has just had a light clean and a coat of beeswax.
I think it’s constructed by a combination of screw and nail with sound, secure joints.
There is evidence of some skilled carpentry with a fillet of wood fitted to the rear - see photos.
The wood is oak with a nice open grain showing and, although worn, in good condition.
There is no sign of woodworm.
The ends are strong and sound.
The seven brass hooks are all well screwed in place, secure and, although they flex a little, are easily strong enough to hang pans or coats from.
The top shelf is worn but clean and sound.
There are two fittings screwed the rear for hanging the rack.
I can find no maker’s mark.

170 cm long,
30 cm tall at the ends,
12 cm wide/ deep at it’s deepest point, 11 cm shelf depth,
