What is this iron thing?

Question

I picked this up last weekend because I like it, but I have no idea what it is or what to do with it.  Any ideas?

1. You may have it upside down. What if a dowel rod were placed in the small ends? I would try and find a way to hang it where it was open so as to make use of the smaller rails. (It is obvious some iron worker had too much time on his hands)!

It's an iron window grill that mounts on the outside of the window. Many hotels and villas have them.

Deloris Sutton · Answer

I agree that it isn't a window grill but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.

It looks a little like a napkin holder but a bit heavy duty for that. Could use it in a cupboard to line up your spices and herb bottles?

Lori Jackson · Answer

How wide are the areas? Almost looks like it could be for displaying teabags or some other such packaged goods...breakfast bar?

Helen Isitt · Answer

I have a cutlery divider that looks like that. I use it on the table for barbecues and picnics etc.

It looks like the top of a store display of some sort? It resembles a plant stand that I have on my porch too. I would maybe flip it over, mount it to the wall and add a piece of wood or plexiglass to the top for a storage shelf. Or you could mount it to the wall and hang a ton of jewelry on it😊

Melissa · Answer

Use little 'S' hooks to hang the jewelry from!

Sandra McIntyre Cramer · Answer

I would paint it maybe gold, and use it as a jewelry /scarf holder. Or, you could hang it from the ceiling, add the s hooks, and put your utensils hanging from it. It is definately a cute piece, I am sure you will thing of something, just think outside the box a little! Have fun.

I had one like that except it was silver. It's a cutlery holder. You place your forks, spoons, etc in it.  Used it for weddings and parties.

¡Hola Tara! That iron thing (don't know it' name) goes inside the fireplace: you set your nice fire over ir, and the ashes go straight down so you can collect them without putting out you fire :)

Elaine · Answer

You didn't give the size of it - whether it's large or small.  If it's about 6' x 6' (or so), then to me, it looks like it MIGHT be a napkin/serviette holder.  It's kind of hard to see from the photo.  I had a holder very similar but with just two 'arms' and used it outside all the time.  It proved to be very handy on windy days  on the patio.

It looks like a shelf, if you turn it over?

Carolyn Noyer · Answer

If you have a patio ot balcony you can use it to hang plants, herbs, tomato plants, strawberry plantss, etc.

Linda · Answer

I think it is upside down in the picture and is a shelf. But I'm guessing.

Vera Diblikova · Answer

in Croatia is something similar used in oven for grilling čevabčiči or pleskjavica, but it depend on measures

Kim · Answer

This item is for silverware!  I have one I purchased from Princess House.  If your silverware drawer is large enough you can use it there.  I use mine on buffet tables when I have guests over.  I leave my good flatware in it so I can just place it where guests can have quick access forks, knives and spoons.  You can have iced tea spoons and soup spoons or  salad and dessert forks or knives or whatever is needed for what you are serving.

William · Answer

Those aren't feet but stand offs that keep it off the window frame.
