The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the Edwardian era (19011910), freestanding towel rails, or towel horses, were essential household items used in bedrooms and washrooms before modern fitted bathrooms became standard. They were designed to hold towels and linens near washstands for daily ablutions.

High-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut were predominantly used. The rails were typically joined using mortise and tenon timber joints to ensure stability while supporting wet linens.

Authentic Edwardian pieces feature refined joinery, turned timber spindles, and subtle decorative accents like carved rosettes or scrolled end uprights. They exhibit natural timber patination and light wear around the horizontal bars where linens rested.

A timber towel horse can be placed in a contemporary bathroom to display folded linen towels, or situated in a bedroom or guest room as a decorative rack for quilts, throws, and blankets.

To preserve the original finish, avoid placing soaking wet towels directly onto untreated timber surfaces. Regularly dust the frame with a soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the timber finish.
