Baker’s Rack (287)

A baker's rack is a type of furniture with shelves, typically made of wrought iron or some other metal. Traditionally the wire shelves served to help cool a baker's goods such as hot pies. The heat-conducting metal shelving allows for heat to be quickly transferred from the bowl to the shelf. Modern incarnations are typically highly ornamental and may include special shelving designed for tasks not related to cooling, such as wine bottle storage.

Historical Information of the baker’s rack

Wrought iron furniture is furniture made by bending, shaping, and welding wrought iron. It has a long history, dating back to Roman times. There are Thirteenth century wrought iron gates in Westminster Abbey in London, but the Seventeenth century, and the reign of William and Mary in Great Britain, appears to have brought its popularity to a peak. However the coming of cast iron and cheaper steel caused a gradual decline in wrought iron manufacture, with the last wrought ironworks in Britain closing in 1974.

Wrought iron is used to make both indoor and outdoor furniture but it is also used to make home decor items such as baker's racks, wine racks, pot racks, etageres, table bases, desks, gates, bars and bar stools.

Many manufacturers employ skilled artisans to produce hand-made wrought iron furniture.
