Vintage French Folk Art Wooden Letter Rack, Hand-Painted Postcard Design

A truly unique piece of French folk art, this two-tier wooden wall-mounted letter rack has been hand-painted with the design of a postcard dated 26th September 1940. The handwritten-style script, purple French stamp, and postal markings evoke the romance of handwritten letters and faraway correspondence, making this more than just a practical object, it’s a little piece of storytelling for the wall.

The rack is finished in a timeworn off-white paint with dark wood interior, showing areas of gentle distressing that add to its rustic character. With two compartments, it’s perfect for tucking away letters, postcards, recipes, or notes, while also serving as a decorative accent in a hallway, kitchen, or study.

This is a beautiful one-off piece, full of character and history, a rare find that carries the warmth of folk craftsmanship and the nostalgia of slower times.
