Introducing the little brother to our full-size clothes horse: a compact two-panel indoor drying rack, thoughtfully handmade for everyday living.
Perfect for smaller laundry loads, bathroom towels, kitchen tea towels, delicate garments, drying herbs, or even displaying baby clothes, this traditional clothes horse offers all the charm of its larger sibling in a space-saving design.
Crafted from robust yet surprisingly lightweight tulip wood uprights and smooth pine rungs, it is sturdy enough for daily use while remaining easy to move around the home. Each rung is carefully sanded to a silky finish to help protect delicate fabrics from snags and marks.
Built in the traditional manner, the two panels are joined with strong natural jute webbing and finished with aged bronze studs. The rack folds completely flat when not in use, making it easy to store behind a door, beside a cupboard, or carry from room to room as needed.
Practical, attractive and built to last, it is a timeless household piece that looks just as at home in a country kitchen as it does in a utility room or bathroom.

Treated for durability, but best suited to indoor use in dry conditions.
Allow the clothes horse to air fully between uses and avoid storing while damp.
Do not overload with heavy items, as good air circulation is essential for efficient drying.
Space garments evenly across the rungs to encourage airflow and reduce drying times.
Rotate or reposition clothing occasionally for more even drying.
May be used near a radiator or other gentle heat source to aid drying.
Take care when using near open fires, wood-burning stoves or other high-heat sources. Keep a safe distance to prevent damage to the wood and webbing.
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Store folded flat in a well-ventilated area when not in use.
As a natural timber product, slight variations in colour and grain are part of its character.
