Question:my wife and i were at an antique shop today and saw a piece of furniture made from an old door. a bench was attached and hooks put on the door. she tinks it's called a "hall-something". can anyone help?
Answers:
Is it a hall-tree? I've seen those...you have a place to sit down, on the bench, and can hang coats on the hooks.
It's called a hall tree. They were used in hallways as a place to sit and remove your shoes. The bench usually opened for storage, there were places on the sides to hold umbrellas, hooks for coats and hats, and a mirror.
Making them out of old doors is part of the current "shabby chic" decor.
