Know before you buy
Yes, this piece features its authentic, original patina developed over decades. It has not been refinished, preserving the historical character and vintage charm of the iron.
The handle is integrated into the iron frame and is structurally sound. It is designed for both aesthetic appeal and practical use, making it easy to move the rack between rooms.
The ball feet are made of solid iron, which can be abrasive on delicate surfaces. We recommend using small felt pads on the underside of the feet if you plan to place the rack on hardwood or polished surfaces.
Measuring 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep, this rack comfortably holds a standard collection of magazines, journals, or newspapers. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for placement next to a sofa or armchair.
Because of its age and patina, we recommend keeping the rack in a dry environment to prevent further oxidation. A light dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all that is needed to maintain its appearance.
