FAQs

A 19th-century silhouette towel rail is a freestanding timber frame designed with flat, shaped end-uprights or scrolled feet, supporting horizontal bars for drying or displaying towels and linens.

Antique towel horses were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, joined using traditional mortise and tenon carpentry techniques.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery details, natural timber grain variation, age-appropriate wear around the base, and original wax or french polished surfaces.

A mahogany towel rail can be placed in a bathroom for hanging bath sheets, inside a guest room as a quilt rack, or in a living space to display folded textiles.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax polish periodically, while avoiding humid areas or direct heat exposure.
