Product description
Weighing 5 kg and measuring 60 cm tall, it's almost certainly an authentic, high-quality piece.
This weight confirms that the rack is made of solid brass (cheaper reproductions from the 1980s or 1990s are often made of hollow aluminum or steel tubes with a gold plating; these usually weigh only 1 to 2 kg). A weight of 5 kg indicates the heavy, solid construction typical of high-end French and Italian workshops from the mid-20th century.
This type of rack is often associated with the Hollywood Regency/Neoclassical style.
It is crafted from solid brass, designed to mimic the look of bamboo. Many examples of this particular model are attributed to designers such as Maison Baguès of France or Italian manufacturers like Montagnani.
Similar vintage pieces usually date from the 1940s to the 1970s.
With genuine brass, you often see a darker color (patina) or a lighter sheen due to rubbing. One leg has been replaced.
