Indonesian Textile Display Stand

Two posts, one carved crossbar, and room for a whole weaving.

This textile display stand was made of teak in Indonesia in the 20th century. Stands of this shape are commonly used to hang cloth, whether for storage or presentation. Two slim, tapering posts rise from foot blocks, joined by a long top beam whose ends curl up into carved, scrolling heads. A thinner rail runs across below. The teak is a dry, orange-brown, with age cracks and softened carving.

About 71 inches tall and 76 wide. Hang a textile on it, or a mood.
