Arts & Crafts - hallstands
Hallstand. A 19th century innovation, the earliest hallstands usually consisted of a straight or shaped upright, known as a 'tree', sometimes with a drawer and with rounded wooden pegs on which to hang coats and hats. Some versions also contained umbrella stands.
Hallstands became proportionately larger during the course of the century, sometimes being equipped with lift up seats and arms, and brass hooks tended to replace the wooden knobs. Early versions were usually wooden, although wonderful iron hallstands are to be found from the middle of the century, richly cast and ornamented.
Some were made in Australia featuring native plants as their dominant motifs. Towards the end of the century, hallstands were made in bamboo and lacquer work in the Japanese taste. Hallstands continued in fashion until the 1920s and were sometimes made in the prevailing Jacobean revival fashion or the plainer styles inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement.
