Collection of
Clothes stands such as these were commonly found in the households of affluent families from the late 19th century to early 20th century. Teak was also a material that was often used for large furniture in the tropics. Its diurability and resistance to termites and insects made it a favoured medium amongst furniture makers in the region.
