Oswald Coat Hanger

With the quiet character of a sculptural object discovered in a well-traveled home, the Oswald Coat Hanger transforms a simple necessity into a moment of decorative intrigue. Hand-forged iron branches rise with an organic, almost arboreal gesture, forming a graceful stand for coats, hats, and scarves, while the circular lower shelf of warm stone offers a resting place for umbrellas or small belongings. Both practical and poetic in form, the piece feels reminiscent of a found object from a collector’s atelier—reflecting Maitland-Smith’s enduring appreciation for narrative design, storied materials, and the beauty of everyday rituals.
