Traditional Clothes Horse

Build your own two‑leaf or three‑leaf classic clothes horse.

Handcrafted in our Welsh workshop, this traditional wooden clothes horse is made from durable tulipwood uprights with smooth pine rungs. Light, sturdy and beautifully finished, it brings a touch of timeless British craftsmanship to everyday laundry.

Features & Materials

• Tulipwood uprights & pine rungs — naturally strong, lightweight and smoothly finished.

• Traditional jute hinges — flexible, quiet and securely fixed for easy folding.

• Hand‑sanded surfaces — gentle on fabrics, preventing snagging.

• Chamfered feet and tops — for balance, grip and a refined heritage look.

• Generous height — ideal for long items such as bedding, bath sheets and tablecloths.

Two Leaf Styles for Different Laundry Loads

Every clothes horse begins with two leaves — one close‑rung and one wide‑rung — giving you a practical combination for mixed laundry.

• Close‑rung leaf Rungs placed closer together, perfect for socks, baby clothes, underwear, tea towels and other small items.

• Wide‑rung leaf Rungs spaced further apart, ideal for towels, sheets, jumpers and anything that benefits from extra airflow.

You may add extra leaves to suit your household needs — but these are companions to the main clothes horse and not available as standalone items.

A Versatile Piece for the Home

More than a drying rack, this handcrafted clothes horse is a charming multi‑use piece. It works beautifully as a towel holder, looks lovely in the kitchen for tea towels, is ideal for drying herbs, and even serves as a graceful valet stand in the bedroom. A quiet, economical and fabric‑friendly alternative to electric drying, it suits both modern and traditional homes.

Made from kiln‑dried tulipwood and pine, the clothes horse is naturally smooth, stable and long‑lasting, with no need for regular treatment. We use traditional jute straps instead of metal hinges because they flex with daily movement, protect the timber, and can be easily replaced — giving you a gentler and more durable piece of household furniture. Strong enough for everyday loads and compact enough for smaller homes, it arrives fully assembled and ready to use.

How to Order

Your clothes horse begins with our BASIC two‑leaf design:

• One close‑rung leaf

• One wide‑rung leaf

From the drop‑down menu, you can add extra leaves to create a three‑leaf or four‑leaf airer. These additional leaves are only available as part of a complete clothes horse and cannot be purchased individually.

Choose the combination that suits your home, more close‑rung leaves for small items, or more wide‑rung leaves for larger laundry, and your clothes horse will be made and sent fully assembled.
