Elegant Large Scale 19th-Century Victorian Mahogany Hall Stand  

An elegant, large scale 19th-century Victorian solid mahogany hat and coat hall stand of fine quality and presence. The central pilaster, with moulded panels and two pegs, is flanked by four splayed, scrolled branches with foliate carving and additional pegs, providing generous hanging space.

Retaining its excellent original colour and rich mahogany timber, the stand is fitted with a total of ten turned coat or hat hooks across the four branches and central upright. English, circa 1870.  
Structurally sound and in superb original order, this piece is a clear example of top-tier Victorian cabinetmaking. Both a highly practical storage solution and a striking decorative feature, this Victorian mahogany hall stand will enhance any interior that values fine 19th-century craftsmanship, individuality and timeless style.
