This vintage wall-mounted coat rack dates from the mid-20th century, likely the 1950s or 1960s, and carries all the charm of retro interior design. It features four brass double hooks mounted on a long wooden backboard, which is upholstered in cream vinyl. The panel is decorated with a border of stud detailing, giving it a stylish mid-century flair. The combination of brass, vinyl, and decorative studs was a popular design choice in the post-war period, reflecting the era’s love of bold materials and practical yet decorative homewares.
The brass hooks are elegantly curved, with black enamel-style coating to the upper sections, adding contrast against the cream background. Each hook has a double function, with space for coats, hats, scarves, or bags, making this piece not only decorative but also very useful for everyday storage. It would look particularly at home in a hallway, cloakroom, or vintage-styled bedroom, where it brings both retro style and practical organisation.
Condition is fair vintage, with signs of use and age-related wear. The cream vinyl shows some staining and discolouration, and the hooks have light wear to the black finish, as shown in photos. There are noticeable areas of wear and staining by the wall mounts too. Despite this, the rack remains sturdy and fully functional, with its authentic patina adding to its vintage character. Two mounting points are included at the top for easy wall installation.
The hooks are fantastic and so solid. I have tried to figure out if they are all the same size and I believe they are. They may be at slightly different angles, but I can't be sure.
This is a very unique piece with lots of flair and detail. The staining gives the piece a yellowing look, versus the off white cream original vinyl colour. The piece is priced on the basis that you may wish to professionally clean the vinyl and bring it back to the original colour. it is however very usable and attractive as is, but this may be a project you wish to undertake.
Size : actually wooden 70cm x 10cm, each hook 14cm long
