Comments

The towel rack has two wooden rods, each octagonal in shape, inserted into uprights that angle outwards. The uprights are mortised into a base shaped from a solid block of wood. It has four inclined and a flat top. The underside is hollowed out to form feet at each end. The entire rack is painted a dark red.
