This charming swing-arm towel rack once hung in a French farmhouse or petite pension—probably near the sink, with striped linen dishcloths drying between meals. Its three wooden arms pivot independently, offering both practicality and understated elegance.  This is the kind of piece that holds history with quiet confidence - the wood is soft and smooth, the patina is gentle perfection.
