New Arrival: A rare wall-mounted Coat Rack produced by Gucci, Florence, Italy, c1970s.

The reverse retains its original velvet fabric backing together with the Gucci label, preserved from the original front leather covering.⁣

New Arrival: A unique cabinet hand-made by a Florentine artisan, Italy, circa 1970s. Crafted in gilded metal, the cabinet features botanical motifs characteristic of the region’s decorative metalwork traditions. The façade and sides are adorned with scrolling stems, elongated leaves, and stylised blossoms, all hand-worked in relief so that the floral elements project from the surface, creating a sculptural, three-dimensional effect. The gilt-metal framework is set against panels of glass backed in deep blue flocking, providing a rich contrast to the warm gilded finish. The interior is fitted with fruitwood shelving, introducing an additional natural texture to the piece.⁣
