Description
Rare early mahogany towel rail with orb finials. The uprights are crisply turned as a series of balusters (with charateristic Georgian triple bead decoration) separated by rectangular prismic blocks. The three round-topped rails are morticed into these blocks. A wide board (probably a support for shoes or slippers) runs below the towel rails above ogee bracket feet.
