Anthony Short Antiques has dated this Bentwood Hat Coat Stand to the 19th Century.
A rare and striking late 19th-century bentwood hall stand by Fischel, dating to circa 1890.
The upper crown, of generous 74cm diameter, features six large S-shaped double hooks, providing ample hanging space for hats, coats and scarves. These are arranged around a beautifully turned central finial. Below, a finely turned walnut column incorporates additional scarf hooks, adding both function and visual interest.
The lower section is equally well considered, with a four legged base united by a circular hoop stretcher designed to accommodate walking sticks and umbrellas. This integrated stick and umbrella stand combines practicality with refined late 19th-century styling.
In very good original condition throughout, the stand is structurally sound and visually striking. The untouched colour and patina of the beech and bentwood, together with its elegant proportions and detailed turnings, make this hall stand a true statement piece for any hallway or interior that values fine 19th-century craftsmanship and timeless style.
