19th c. Scandinavian grained pine folding shelf baker's rack

Charming antique baker's rack with 3 shelves dating to approx. 1880s - 1890s. Looks to be made of Butternut. This unique original piece was found in an old Bakery closed for many years in Northern Minnesota.
Made to cool freshly baked breads, pastries and display them.  Shows a iron brace that hooks in place, allowing the piece to open 41" deep. There are a few layers of paint, dark Spanish red or brown, then white, grained with a brush and shellacked early in it's life. Creating this great look.  Legs and shelves are mortised through, not photos. 

This is not only functional but also decorative. You can use this for storage, picture frames, wine display, bath towels, houseplants, and even a fantastic display for textiles.  If you appreciate a versatile and old mercantile piece of furniture, the rack will be a delightful addition to your home or business.

Dimensions: 72" overall height by 38" wide.
