There has been a need for a coat rack and umbrella holder for many years. This is a fancy one used in a Southern plantation home........"The Big House". As you can see it has many compartments, holders, a mirrow, and is highly polished. It was probably purchased in New Orleans, made in England. That was done a lot during the plantation period of history. However, many plantation owners had slaves that were very good at crafting furniture and other home item needs. If so, that person was in demand and often escaped field work. His skills were more valuable as a craftsman.
