Antique Hall Trees

If you've ever seen an old Fred Astaire movie, then you'll know what a hall tree is. It's a hat rack - Fred takes one for a twirl and has a place to hang his hat when he's done. If your home needs a better place for hats, coats, and umbrellas (rather than the backs of furniture), an antique hall tree might be just what you've been looking for.

Hall trees are best placed in the foyer of a home, or in a hallway near the entryway. They are perfect for hanging hats, coats, and other clothing. Some have mirrors and drawers to store such items as hats, gloves, or other outerwear. Many can also include a bench, sometimes hinged, with storage space underneath. Most are made of wood; antiques are often made of walnut or oak.

Your antique hall tree can establish the decor of the rest of the home as soon as a visitor steps in the door. It also makes a nice place for said visitor to hang his coat.

Another nice feature of antique hall trees is that they have small drawers handy for stowing extra cash, wallets, or keys. People like hall trees because they are not only decorative, but they're functional, too. They keep personal items organized and out of the way, even for large families. Hooks, mirrors, storage areas, and display shelves are common attributes that buyers can find in most antique hall trees.

Choosing an antique hall tree is an important decision. Antiques should be sturdy, so make sure the base doesn't wobble and the arms and hooks are securely fastened. Consider the size, shape, and finish of your hall tree, and make sure it fits well into the style of your home. An antique hall tree will likely be a focal point, so focus on craftsmanship first and foremost. These fine pieces of furniture, regardless of their style, make a welcoming, practical space out of an otherwise empty hallway.
