FAQs

Clothes horses and airers became common household items in the 18th and 19th centuries, designed to utilise residual heat from open fires or stoves to dry laundry efficiently indoors before the invention of automated tumble dryers.

Traditional pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany, oak, or pine, joined with mortise and tenon joints, and fitted with brass hinges to facilitate smooth folding mechanics.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate joinery, hand-turned components, patination on the timber, and hand-cut brass hinges or screws that show genuine signs of age and wear.

These functional objects can be deployed in utility rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms as practical hanging space, or folded neatly against a wall as a decorative architectural element displaying vintage textiles.

Maintain the wood by cleaning with a dry or lightly damp lint-free cloth, avoiding excessive moisture, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax to nourish the timber and protect the finish.
