Mid-Century Italian Bamboo and Wicker Coat Rack
Wall-Mounted Design with Four Hooks
Italy, circa 1960s

Substantial Italian Craftsmanship

This generous wall-mounted coat rack showcases the quality and attention to detail that defined Italian bamboo furniture production in the 1960s. While unmarked, the construction techniques, materials, and design aesthetic are consistent with pieces produced in Northern Italy's bamboo workshops during the height of the French Riviera style movement.

Design & Construction

Measuring a full 90cm wide, this is a substantial piece - larger than most period coat racks which typically ranged from 60-80cm. The four-hook configuration provides genuine functionality for family use, while the woven wicker backing adds both structural integrity and visual interest.

The bamboo frame has been carefully steam-bent to create the characteristic rounded rectangular form, with hand-woven wicker filling the central panel. This combination of materials and techniques was perfected by Italian artisans in regions near Lake Como and along the Po River, where bamboo cultivation and traditional weaving skills converged.
