Toast racks like this one are well-known from the elegant breakfast tables of the 19th and early 20th centuries: hot slices of toast remained deliciously crisp as they slowly cooled, instead of going soggy in bread baskets or bowls. Over time, toasters moved ever closer to the breakfast table, which meant that toast racks became rare and are now nearly always silver-plated or only available for a high price at antiques dealers. On the breakfast table, however, they are still useful and decorative. Made in Italy from sterling silver. Holds up to 6 slices of toast. Height 12 cm, width 9 cm, length 13.5 cm. Weight 240 g.
