Vintage 1950s Wood Tie Rack — Gold Lion Crest, Chrome Hooks

A striking mid-century tie rack with real presence. The face is done in a red, silver, and blue diagonal heraldic pattern with two raised gold lions in a rampant pose — the kind of piece that reads as art on its own even off the wall. Solid wood back with a hammered metal-texture crest, wire-loop hanger, and eight double-pronged chrome hooks (four per side) for ties, belts, or scarves. Partial maker's label on the back reads ARC — cut off, so the full brand name is lost to time, but the quality and styling point to a well-made 1950s piece, not mass-market plastic. Great as a functional rack or hung as standalone wall decor — the lion crest side looks intentional either way. Condition: vintage, gently worn finish consistent with age, hooks all intact and sturdy. See photos for full detail.
