Iron Quilt Rack Appraisal

Wrought Iron Scrollwork Quilt Rack

This item is a free-standing quilt or towel rack constructed from tubular and solid wrought iron with a dark bronze or rubbed oil finish. The piece stands approximately 36 inches high and 30 inches wide, featuring a distinctive arch-top silhouette. The side panels are decorated with intricate symmetrical scrollwork and leaf motifs, highlighting a traditional or French country aesthetic. It includes three horizontal hanging bars at varying heights to allow for layered display and air circulation, along with a slatted bottom shelf for additional storage of blankets or pillows. The rack is supported by four simple ball-foot legs. Condition appears good with minor surface dust and potential light scuffing on the finish near the feet, but no visible structural bends, deep rust, or missing components. The style suggests a late 20th-century mass-produced decorative home furnishing rather than a hand-forged antique, indicated by the uniformity of the welds and the ball finials. The rack provides a sturdy yet lightweight solution for textile display and storage.
