{"product_id":"rare-edwardian-wooden-egg-rack","title":"Rare Edwardian Wooden Egg Rack","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delightful treen egg rack to hold one dozen eggs, dating from the start of the 1900s..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis English wooden egg rack dates from the Edwardian period, with capacity to hold up to 12 eggs on a single tier. This more compact square shaped rack is quite difficult to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was common for these racks to be used in the kitchens of large houses, where many eggs would be used daily. In fact, in Downton Abbey, the kitchen had an egg rack the same style as this, although it did run the entire length of the kitchen island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was common for these racks to be stacked on top of each other in order to deter pests from getting their hands on precious fresh eggs. Of simple construction, it has a primitive and rustic style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in very good condition considering the age of the piece, with both legs firmly fixed in position and it standing solidly with its original fittings. Each side of the rack hasn't been fitted snugly together, so there is a small gap in the middle, but this doesn't detract. There are some light surface stains but it is still a highly decorative yet also fully functional piece of antique kitchenalia.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength, 20cm; Depth, 19.5cm; Height, 7.5cm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JFrancesAntiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55532743164280,"sku":null,"price":88.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/4633\/3753\/files\/antique-edwardian-rare-small-sqaure-stackable-wooden-egg-rack.gif?v=1776277309","url":"https:\/\/jfrancesantiques.co.uk\/products\/rare-edwardian-wooden-egg-rack","provider":"JFrancesAntiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
