A wonderful antique French wooden fruit drying rack, traditionally known as a claie. These simple slatted racks were used in rural France for drying fruits such as plums and prunes, allowing air to circulate freely around the produce.

Beautifully utilitarian in its construction, this example features closely spaced wooden rails, shaped ends and integrated handholds for carrying. Years of use have left the wood with a wonderfully worn, natural patina.

Today, it makes a beautiful decorative piece for displaying linens, textiles or treasured collections.

Circa: 1900–1920
Dimensions: 35” × 18”
Condition: Antique condition with expected wear, marks and historic woodworm holes consistent with age and use.
