History of the Valet Stand
The valet stand was a popular piece of furniture from the second half of the 1800’s right the way through to the 1960,s when it fell out of favour as men’s styles changed rapidly to more modern and contemporary designs. Also sometimes called a cloth’s valet or gents valet it was a common item in many middle and upper class households.
Lately there has been a resurgence in our desire for all things vintage and along with this the valet stand has once again become an accepted piece of furniture in the discerning gentleman’s bedroom. After all it ticks all the right boxes being elegant and eye catching as well as very useful!
