About this seller
Product description
This wrought iron piece, crafted with exemplary precision, illustrates the fusion of rural know-how and modern design that characterizes Les Artisans de Marolles, founded in 1950 by Jean Touret near Blois.
The vertical, square-sectioned shaft is punctuated by five hooks shaped like hammered nails, arranged in a staggered pattern. These tapered rods widen at their ends, reflecting the work done at the forge and the pursuit of a balance between strength and lightness.
The four-legged base with curved arms, riveted with a central nut, anchors the piece firmly to the ground while maintaining a visually fluid appearance.
