Baker's Rack 180x198Cm-Light Natural Oak

Inspired by the industrious baker's rack. With a rich history dating back to the 17th century, baker's racks were originally used in French bakeries to cool loaves of bread, and later adopted in England. Baker's racks were a common fixture in Victorian kitchens and evolved into functional storage and display pieces for both kitchens and living spaces, infusing a room with heritage, charm, and character. Our Baker's Rack bookcase is handcrafted in chunky planks of reclaimed oak, weathered over a century of use to create a beautiful patina unique to each piece. Iron bars stretch across the back of each shelf and heavy castors give a nod to the original baker's racks, which would have been wheeled from the oven to tempt patrons with delicious, freshly baked fare.
