Bespoke Antique Italian Bamboo Hat Rack

$4,200.00

A very rare and beautiful handmade hat rack, found at the Paris Flea Market. Handmade of painted, sculptured bamboo, the rack was custom-made for a luxury hat shop in 1920s Italy. Its freestanding design features a gracefully arched back, showcasing elegant artistry and craftsmanship.

Each piece of the rack was meticulously sculpted to embody a specific shape, resulting in a glamorous Art Deco aesthetic. Round hoop hooks extend at intervals, delicately cradling hats while enhancing the rectilinear structure of the frame. Truly a work of art, this hat rack embodies the elegance and sophistication of its era.

  • Handmade in Italy, circa 1920

  • Made from (painted) bamboo, reeding, and willow

  • The rack holds 22 hats

  • The rack is lightweight and seems to be fragile, however, it is strong and sturdy; we put a dozen heavy men’s cowboy hats on it … and it didn’t flex! 

  • It is freestanding in our display, to showcase its slightly concave shape but does sit more straight when placed against a wall

  • There are modern screws and nails in areas with rusty spots, splits, holes, and rot

  • The creamy white paint has faded and peeled off in many areas

  • Multiple minor areas of damage and repairs from years of use in a retail store. One small “dash” piece of rattan is missing. 

  • No structural damage

  • Approximately 8’ L x 73.5” H x 13.5” D

Available for pick up, local delivery, and nationwide shipping.

This item requires either freight shipping or white glove delivery service.
