Productdetails

The swan. Four heart-shaped brass arches rise from a rectangular footed base and a long, elegantly curved neck with a stamped eye and beak serves as the carry handle. Holds three slices of toast, a week of post, or a stack of cocktail napkins, and it is unfairly photogenic doing any of it. | SPECS: Three slots, four arches. Approx. 5 in long x 3 in wide x 6 in tall to the beak (confirm). Solid brass, unmarked. | HISTORY: Brass swan racks of this type were made in quantity for the mid-century decorative brass trade, most of it produced in India and Korea for export, and they have become a Hollywood Regency staple. No mark, so no origin is claimed; the date is a style estimate. | CONDITION: Warm mellow patina with darker tarnish in the recesses and a few surface scratches. Unpolished; it will brighten considerably if you prefer it gleaming. Sturdy and sits flat. Sold as found; please review every photo. Stay crazed, darlings.
