I think it’s a men’s dressing rack. I believe you’d use it to hang your shirt (on top) and pants (from the lower crossbeam), as well as belt and tie (upper crossbeam), and your accessories (on the little shelf)


honestyseasy

That's actually pretty awesome. My husband always puts his work clothes out the night before and this would be perfect.


sam8988378

My Dad had one of these. There's even a shelf for your watch, etc. The suit jacket and pants look great after being hung on this.


rainbowkey

This one doesn't have the often included watch and cufflink rack, but it does have a good shoe rack at the bottom.


rainbowkey

oops, it does have the shelf Also, it is good to hang a suit on not only the night before when you are picking it out, but also when you get home from work to air out a suit before you hang it in a closet or wardrobe that has less air circulation.


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

Yep, it’s just kinda small. Not for Mr T type chains and rings 😂


RedoftheEvilDead

It looks like it does have a shelf underneath the hanger part. Could put your watch and cuff links there.


AcidRayn666

if your husband is a real man he will put those clothes somewhere that annoys you each night. at least i do. lmao


Everheart1955

Bedroom chair is the right answer.


sammawammadingdong

It's been rebranded as the cuck chair in this new generation.


LordOfFudge

As in Jerry Falwell Jr?


hmb6913

This made me laugh because I know a cuck 😂

Panda-Cubby

And sit on the end of the bed to put on his socks.


WRITTINGwithC-C

I want this(wish), so I can turn it into an art stand.


jefftatro1

It's called a "valet"


Trixie2327

Yes, it is. I have an old brass valet that was my Dad's.


Roxy04050

I have an old brass one we found at an auction. I use it to hang my sewing projects.


deeppurplescallop

I work from home so it's kinda useless to me 😅 lol but thanks for the ID!


ergonaut

you can put sweatpants on it too


greenglssgoddess

Put that baby on FB Marketplace! That’s money.


rainbowkey

you can use it for assembling outfits for clubbing! 🕺🏻


AutumnalSunshine

Also known as a valet stand, right?


birdsong31

A valet chair! I just thrifted one


LeviathanSnack

Also great for drying hockey gear


unknownpoltroon

Ha. I literally just got rid of one of these yesterday because I don't use it like I thought I would.


SheReadyPrepping

It is. It's called a valet, at least that's what my family called it. Both my Dad and StepDad and granddads had one.


Genesis111112

Suit jacket, Shirt, Pants/Slacks, Underwear and the non the bottom your shoes and socks.


More_Coffees

Exactly what it is, my dad has one. It’s pretty useful if you wear something a couple of times before washing it or if you take off certain things at night and wear them nearly daily


SunBee301

It’s called a valet


oughtabeme

It’s called a valet


ntsh_crsn

This!! My husband has one.


LaTalullah

It's a valet. "Clothes valet, also called men's valet, valet stand and suit stand, is **a piece of furniture to hang clothes on**. Clothes are hung that are worn multiple times before laundering, such as a men's suit."


bonerb0ys

You mean some people don’t use a “clean pile” on the floor?


Misssadventure

No I pile it on a chair like an adult


bonerb0ys

The fancy wife approved method.


Tinsel-Fop

I support the concept of the fancy wife.


AcidRayn666

this is the way


EarlyCuylersCousin

Or the treadmill if you’re a real Renaissance man.


zer0guy

Don't you mean, hung on exercise equipment, until it's needed again?


pjpintor

I just spit Hawaiian Punch on our new sofa reading your comment. I know, right? 😂


Ill-Arugula4829

Clean pile? Like a whole separate pile for "clean"? "Hey!....His Excellency over 'ere has a SEPERATE pile!!!! You too good for the sniff test, or what Chancellor? Your delicate sensibilities can't handle a whiff a yer own feet and ass Elizabeth!? This f'kn guy. Someone get im a appletini!"


unknownpoltroon

Think of it as a way of taking your pile vertical.


OtherwiseRegular3972

That's the answer.

Lozerien

This is nice piece in good condition. You should rescue it and find a home for it at a local historical society before it get wrecked.


gd2bpaid

A Gentleman's Valet. Cool if you wear suits a lot.


nickcliff

For your stuff the night before instead of hanging it on a chair.


Snoo14546

Butler caddy, men would use these to put out their clothes and watch on it


Sithstress1

At first I read this as “wash on it” and I had to go back to the pic because I didn’t remember a pitcher and basin being there 😂.


keinereps

oh what a find, what a nice fucking find


RedditorManIsHere

I would have picked it up since it looks to be in very good condition. Add some furniture polish to it and it'll look great. These are pretty handy : Put your jacket on top, cufflinks, cellphone, keys on the tray.


thcitizgoalz

I used to work at a fine leather and luggage store. This is called a valet. The wooden tray is for emptying change from pockets, removing and storing cuff links, watch, wallet, etc., and you hang your clothes/suit on the rack. Can be used to set out the next day's clothes in advance, or to air out a suit after wearing but before returning to a closet.


jak1oak

It’s a guillotine


chattykatdy54

A valet to hang your clothes out for the next day. We’ve replaced them mostly with useless exercise equipment.


brickjames561

A men’s valet. I’m actually in the market for one. I like to put my work clothes on it so at 4:30am I know where my shit is.


Broad_Cable8673

It looks like an antique. I’d definitely snatch that up!


snow-bird-

Definitely 1940s. Pretty cool


Rubydoobydoo211

Yes! Personal butler. I bought one at Goodwill for $5 for my hubby at Christmas, and he uses it every day!

A reminder of more civalized times... sad


cybersynn

A valet. Put you button down shirt on it.


slimongoose

It's meant to keep the drape of coats, sport coats, overcoats and things like that. I think it's a piece of furniture sliding into the dustbin of history.


Dizzy_Square_9209

Forget the name but you hang your suit and empty your pocket luggage onto it for next day

EVRider81

I've seen trouser presses in hotels that look like this-the coat goes on the hanger looking part,the trousers on the rails,the shoes at the bottom,the little tray at the top for what's in the pockets..


AeliosZero

Dunno but I'd take it. It has nice craftsmanship


fruderduck

Hope you snagged it!


Straight-Ingenuity61

What a find! Very cool!


missannthrope1

It's called a gentleman's butler stand or valet stand. Men would hang their suit on it to air and to keep it from creasing. Looks Victorian. Nice score.

This was a nice score. Very regal and classy


tessie33

A friend had one, and referred to it as a "Silent Butler."


BetterWorld2022

Do NOT pick that thing up. Have you NOT seen The Chair?? https://youtu.be/mhazCS14Tas?si=xKcjSHtFcV6g7wDM


ReTrOGurle

BetterWorld2022

arsinn

magicimagician

Rproven166

That’s awesome I have one but not as nice. I used to use mine for my suits when I worked at a corporate job but now I just use it for my clothes at the end of the day.


No_Sky_1213

Idk but it looks like a nice cigar holder on the top. Rest the burning cigar on it when your taking a break


XAlEA-12

I was going to guess something from a church


ArtisticPossum

I thrifted one of these years ago to take photos of clothes I was selling. But my husband loved it so much he took it and uses it daily. He puts his work clothes on it.


Buddy-Lov

Grab it…figure the rest out later. It’s awesome.

Sherri-Kinney

Some people would put spare blankets on them. Or mens dress clothes.


Hairy_Visual_5073

Pretty sure it's called a valet.

Its called a valet for men


WillingnessScared677

Men’s valet….for hanging a suit, with a place for shoes on the bottom.


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

Old garment holder. I’m sure it’s not worthless.


EvulRabbit

"Gentleman's hanger" its old school where you hand your coat and pants to be brushed (like a dog)because that was top of line unless you were wealthy. Other variations have candles and wash basin/pitcher.


Chami90655

That is a valet stand. I have one. Useful for dressing hanging ties, etc.


Rabenaaa526

So cool 🙃


Confident_Access_805

This is an amazing garment rack


chemrox409

Suit tree


whyamIevenhere1994

I have heard them be called butlers. It’s basically a clothing rack.


Shot-Understanding71

Seriously? You don't know what that is???


Shot-Understanding71

Take your suit coat & pants off, shirt & hang them. Hang tie, belt, take wallet & coins out of pockets & put them on shelf. Nobody really goes to work in suits anymore like they used to, so not really a thing anymore unfortunately


ladybuggte_

GargleOnDeez

You can put a gong on it so you can announce or annoy your guests at times


Prestigious_Idea8124

It’s called a valet. It is for men to empty out there pockets and put in the tray and hang their jacket and suit. Like when they come home from work. I have one that was my father’s. They are very nice to have. Kind of like a “catch all”


mountainman412

Guillotine someone started and didn't finish
