The chamois's eyes, made of sulfide, catch the light with fascinating brilliance, adding a lifelike, realistic touch to the animal's face.

The pegs are ingeniously fashioned in the shape of chamois paws, finely carved into the wood, providing an organic link with the natural theme of the coat rack.

The bottom of the piece is adorned with an array of flowers and foliage, finely carved in wood, evoking the wild flora of the mountains. Attention to detail, from the wood grain to the subtle natural curves, makes this coat rack both utilitarian and decorative.
