The base of the piece is drastic and shows a Griffin leg motif in heavy detail. Each leg includes a unique double umbrella (or cane) hook. This Coat Rack was out an estate owned by a socialite and listed artist, this piece was purchased in the United States and was moved to both Europe and Canada before making its way back to the U.S. The piece is unmarked or signed.
