Charming wrought iron coat rack attributed to Atelier Marolles, the prominent French artistic workshop founded in the 1950s by Jean Touret. with its design depicting two birds in its characteristic simplistic and symbolic style, it reflects the influence of the prehistoric engravings of Lascaux, one of the workshop's recurring inspirations.
Created in the heart of the village of Marolles, Loir-et-Cher, this coat rack exemplifies the commitment of the Artisans of Marolles to artisanal tradition in the face of the increasing industrialization of the time. Its perforated geometric shapes and hammered finish show a respect for ancient techniques and a functional and poetic approach to design. The piece maintains a spiritual and aesthetic essence that integrates perfectly into both contemporary and rustic interiors.
This work is not only a practical item for the home, but also a testament to the struggle to preserve authenticity in mid-20th century design in France. A special addition for collectors of historical pieces or lovers of design with deep cultural meaning. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
