Vintage Chrome Wire Bottle Stand – Mid-Century Barware

A sleek chrome wire bottle rack with graphic form. Holds six bottles in a pyramid of welded rings, topped with a neat curved handle.

Likely produced in Europe during the 1960s–70s, it belongs to the wave of chrome wire objects that ranged from bottle racks to side tables and chairs. Affordable, functional, and sculptural, they turned industrial metal into everyday design. This stand carries that same spirit: minimal yet bold, adding a graphic edge to a bar corner or kitchen counter while its reflective surface brings instant vintage mood.

Barware of the mid-century era was designed to make entertaining look easy. Pieces like this slipped effortlessly into daily rituals: storing bottles, pouring drinks, setting a mood. They were often hand-welded and finished by skilled metalworkers, not cheaply stamped out like today’s mass-market versions. The result is a rack with real weight and durability, built to hold up for decades, and still doing its job beautifully.

Up close there are a few tiny rust spots, which is common for older chrome-plated wire, but overall it’s in very good condition, cleaned and ready to serve. Load it with wine, soda, or home-pressed juice - or let it stand as a sculptural accent in its own right.
