this wall-mounted coat rack, made of steam-bent wood, likely beech, was produced by the viennese firm j&j kohn, a long-time competitor of thonet in bentwood furniture. It is typical of early 20th-century cafés, bistros, and entryways.

the structure consists of two parallel crossbars, held together by two uprights with curved ends. It features four double-hook hooks: a large s-shaped scroll at the top for coats and hats, and a short hook at the bottom for scarves and bags.

the mahogany brown patina is warm and deep. The hooks show signs of wear and slight varnish loss, indicating that this piece has been used. A beautiful decorative piece for an entryway, hallway, or café.
