Coat hanger

This rare coat hanger, likely produced in Sweden during the 1960s, is crafted entirely from brass and features a distinctive stepped geometric design formed by interconnected square frames. The upper section is composed of brass rods arranged in a grid-like pattern, providing additional storage space, while the lower section includes a horizontal rod equipped with hooks for hanging coats and accessories. This combination of open framework and practical elements lends the piece both sculptural appeal and functional versatility.

The design draws on mid-century influences and is strongly reminiscent of Hollywood Regency style, characterized by bold geometric forms and the luxurious use of polished brass. Hollywood Regency, popular in the mid-20th century, favored dramatic shapes and opulent materials, blending decorative sophistication with everyday functionality.

Over time, the brass has developed a natural patina that enhances the material’s depth and vintage character. The coat hanger measures 160 cm in width, 25 cm in depth, and 25 cm in height (63 x 9.8 x 9.8 inches), making it a striking and practical example of mid-century design with a refined, decorative edge.
