Without measuring, I would say about 3 ft tall and 2.5 ft in depth??
What is this piece of furniture that I got at an auction?

Luggage rack
Better picture would help, opened up some other,different angles
Wood holder. Or Blankets holder
Hey Yanick...Is that a guess? I am just stumped?? But it could be that, wod or blanket...even luggage rack?? Hoping someone knows for SURE!! Thanks for looking!!!
The first thing I thought of due to it's shape was a hay feeder but it looks to be too nice a piece for use in a barn. We had a similarly shaped metal feeder. The hay went in the v part and the goats would poke their noses through the openings to reach the hay. Does it go completely flat when opened all the way? Is there support for the sides when open so that it could hold something heavy?
It looks like a quilting frame. I think you should take it to an appraiser or if antiques roadshow is ever in your area, head over there.
Not sure anyhow curious to find out! Love learning something new!
maybe send a photo to antiques roadshow
It sort of looks like a fold-a-way bed except for the 'pegs' sticking up in the middle.
If you can take a better photo of it, maybe opened, you might be able to find out what it is using Google Images. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnX_FqMlkZo
My guess would be a weaver or blanket weaving machines. You might want to look very closely and see how old it is. It might be worth something or you could learn a new craft.
How interesting !!
Looks like a well made piece that is meant to open out in three positions from upright judging by photo 4
Also looks like you have a bit missing as there are two little wooden pegs in the middle of the piece in photo 3
I think what you have here is a rack for airing bedding. Back in the day [no dry cleaners !! ] Spring Cleaning included taking quilts, bedding, pillows, even mattress etc off the beds and airing them outside or on a porch.
The missing bit would have been in three pieces and formed a frame over which bedding could be 'tented' once the sides were opened out flat
You could replace the missing bit by using three wooden curtain poles cut to size
WOW!!! Everyone has certainly taken an interest in "IT"!! LOL!! one way or another I will find out what it is!! I will take more pics and get the dimensions....maybe that will help!! Thanks to all of you that gave me an opinion!! I just think there is more to it? WHY?? Just soooo curious!!! Maybe I will get rich...HA!!!!
Send the pictures to my email lynn_sorrell@msn.com I'm going to Antiques road show next month on the 16th I'll take pictures and ask what it is.I tried to copy and download the new pictures you just posted but could not get it to work well
