FAQs

An antique towel stand, also known as a towel horse, is a freestanding wooden structure fitted with horizontal rails designed for hanging and drying bath linens or textiles in bedrooms and dressing areas.

Turn-of-the-century towel stands were predominantly crafted from hardwoods such as beech, oak, or mahogany, utilizing mortise and tenon joinery alongside turned rails and trestle feet for structural stability.

Authentic Edwardian pieces feature hand-turned finials, visible joinery at the joints, subtle wear along turned crossbars, and period-appropriate painted or stained wood finishes.

A freestanding towel horse can be placed in a modern bathroom to hold bath towels or positioned in a guest room to display folded blankets and quilts.

Dust the painted surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical sprays or leaving standing water on the wood to prevent paint flaking.
