Wonderful Georgian Pine Pot Rack in Original Paint
Ref: 4557
A rare and rather spectacular architectural pine pot rack, essentially a dresser but without bottom section. A Georgian Irish country piece almost certainly 18th century, good enough to be in a museum. Brawny and bold detailing throughout, an ample shelf to bottom section, it was obviously in a farmhouse near to the fire so the paint has taken on a treacly gleam and has cracked dramatically so the red under paint shows through.
The bold wooden pegs have little metal spikes at the end to help secure the crockery in place, a nice touch. This is likely to be amongst the best if not the best one of these you'll ever see.
Ireland c.1780
