Rustic French Pine Wall Rack w/ Seven Pegs and Shelf - 74½"

This long wall-mounted coat rack with shelf is crafted in pine, its warm honeyed surface deepened and softened by time and use, resulting in a beautifully rustic patina that feels both honest and inviting. Simple, well-proportioned lines define the piece: shaped corbels support a generous upper shelf, while a continuous rail fitted with a row of seven wooden pegs provides ample space for hanging. The design is straightforward and quietly handsome, balancing practicality with an understated, timeless appeal. Dating to the early to mid-20th century, it may originally have served in a school, workshop, or communal setting. The surface shows a pleasing, timeworn character, with scattered marks, edge wear, visible tool marks, old nail heads, and small imperfections consistent with long daily use, all contributing to the piece’s honest construction, authenticity, and warmth.

Very versatile, it is ideal in a kitchen, where it can hold aprons, towels, or copper pans while the shelf displays rustic ceramics, jars, or greenery. In a bathroom, it offers a practical solution for hanging towels while keeping clean, folded linens neatly stored above. Placed in an entry or mudroom, it becomes a welcoming station for coats, scarves, hats, and baskets. Wherever it is used, the rack combines generous storage and everyday functionality with the warmth of a rustic, well-used object.
