A few months back, we presented a roundup of kitchen designs by Quintana Partners of Menorca, Spain, a team known for their inspired use of vintage details. A wall-hung enamelware utensil rack, a French flea market purchase that they planted in a kitchenette, sent me on a search for lookalikes. Did I have to book a flight to find my own?
I was pleased to discover that plenty are available from online sources not only at reasonable prices, but in a surprising range of colors and patterns. Most seem to come from France (so overseas shipping needs to be factored in), and all incorporate a hanging bar sized for metal spatulas and spoons plus a drip pan. Looking for compact storage with some character and perhaps a touch of rust? One of these could be the answer.
Above: A French Enamel Utensil Rack identical to the one in the Quintana Partners’ kitchen is $97.12 from Etsy vendor Barcelona Deco Lab. Above: Some utensil racks work well for hanging dish towels. Souvenirs de Voyages recently sold this red-and-white rack on Etsy. The shop currently has three other racks on offer, including one with a red-and-white checked border for $64. Above: La Vie en Pastis, a collection of vintage French accessories from “a California girl in Provence,” currently has two utensil racks on offer: a diamond design similar to the Quintana Partners’ example, and this Antique French Utensil Rack with Scalloped Drip Pan; $125. Above: A Vintage French Enamelware Utensil Rack with Utensils is $155 (or best offer) from a Brittany-based eBay vendor. Above: Yellow-and-blue plaid, anyone? This Vintage French Enamelware Utensil Rack is $199 on eBay from Paris vendor Jerry Martel, ladle included.
