This large coat rack, standing 154 cm tall, impresses with its slender silhouette and rich ornamentation. It is entirely made of cast iron, finely crafted in the typical taste of Art Nouveau: vegetal curves, intricate arabesques, stylized foliage, and interlaces inspired by nature. Its balanced and majestic design recalls the productions of great French foundries like Corneau Frères or Val d’Osne, although this piece bears no visible signature.
