About the Item

Primitive unlacquered brass cast brass door pulls attached to long, slim backplates. These have a patinated finish that has developed beautifully and naturally over the past 60-70 years. They date to the 1950s and were sourced in a mountain town in Colorado. The proportions of the back plates feel extremely Minimalist and simple, with the cast handles adding a Midcentury Modern or Machine Age feel. The combination of styles lends this pair a seductive look and feel. One immediately wants to touch and feel them. We envision them on sliding doors into a kitchen, home office, or as the hardware for doors to a luxurious closet that one would enter from inside a primary bedroom. The installation is straightforward and simple, with pre-drilled holes that would allow for brass, flush-mount screws directly into a door surface.

Faux Bamboo Coat Hooks Set of 3, Hand-Woven, Mid-20th Century

Faux Bamboo Coat Hooks Set of 3, Hand-Woven, Mid-20th Century

By Olaf von Bohr

Located in Round Top, TX

Set of Three Unique Faux Bamboo Coat Racks First Item Description: Eye-catching burnt bamboo wall-mounted coat/purse/scarf rack, 1960s. Wonderfully undulating shape with six serpentine hooks. It has all the taste of the Italian Riviera style and appears to have been designed after Olaf von Bohr pieces. A functional and wonderfully referential piece that works well with Midcentury Modern furniture and home design, to Coastal interiors, to American Classical, in a beach house addition, entry hall, or mud room. So charming, stylish, and casually luxurious, we love this piece draped with friend's handbags, a scarf collection, dog leashes, and so much more. Hand-wrapped and woven steam-bent real bamboo, curved into sensual hooks and topped with small wood spheres that punctuate each hook end. The reed wrapping creates little criss-cross patterns throughout the piece, creating visual interest and miniature geometries. 16ʺW × 4.75ʺD × 17.75ʺH Second Item Description: Burnt bamboo towel rack...
