Seven individual pegs project forward from the rod, each one turned into a satisfying ball finial at the tip -- the kind of detail that speaks of a skilled atelier rather than a factory floor. Small iron hanging loops are fitted at intervals along the back for wall mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm honey-amber tone of the wood has deepened pleasantly with age, and the dark painted lines that accentuate each bamboo segment give the piece a graphic quality that reads as confidently in a modern entryway as it would in a French farmhouse hallway. Faux-bamboo accessories like this were a staple of French decorative craft, found in bourgeois apartments and country maisons alike, used for coats, hats, scarves and bags. Today it works equally well as a functional coat rack or as a decorative wall installation alongside mirrors and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The iron hanging loops show some surface rust, and the wood carries the light scuffs and minor marks of honest use over the decades -- nothing that diminishes the charm or structural integrity of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 24 in long (61 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59017287074136,"sku":"FMF-9HFXVD2W","price":213.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/c051c3f4e8a7957dd06144d259b289db.jpg?v=1793687932","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-bamboo-wall-coat-rack-vintage-0311266","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
