Where should an oak stick rack go?

These pieces belong in a hallway or entrance lobby where guests enter the home and wet weather gear is deposited. Position the stand near the primary doorway to catch walking sticks and umbrellas as people arrive.

How do I manage wet umbrellas?

Most stands include a metal, zinc or brass drip tray at the base to catch moisture from damp umbrellas. Empty and dry these trays periodically to protect the surrounding oak framework from water damage.

What styles are available?

The selection includes Victorian, Edwardian, Arts and Crafts, Aesthetic Movement, and Gothic Revival pieces. Styles range from plain coopered barrels to elaborate hall stands featuring carved foliage and mirrors.

Are these stands suitable for daily use?

Solid oak construction and integrated metal components make these pieces durable for everyday storage of sticks and coats. Their robust build allows them to function in modern hallways exactly as intended over a century ago.
