Well I recieved a phone call from my friend the other day who said, "Have you gotten the new Restoration Hardware Catalog yet? If so, turn to page 41! That rack is in your barn!" And sure enough, we do have a very similar version for sale! Restoration Harware calls it a 19th C. Couturier's Rack used to display men and women's clothing! Their version is a reproduction of a rack salvaged out of a 19th Century New York Department store and available in late October for ordering. Are you ready for the price??? Only $995. Whoa! Sticker Shock!
Here is my version....an original find from Texas, ours has wheels and the top slants down instead of up! It is very tall (I haven't measured), black metal and very cool!!!!! 
I wonder if that top is on upside down on yours???? Just a thought, Great find.

THanks Girls! I'll have to check it out and see if it comes apart!
ReplyDeleteYou have always been "restoration-worthy* to me, but now I know your true value!!! Can't wait for the barn sale!!!
ReplyDeleteI was the lucky buyer on this rack! I sold it in Canton, had seller's remorse (that happens a lot to me, but I can't keep everything!) and offered to give her money back to keep it, but she was in LOVE! It has a new home in her laundry room, and I want another one!
