While the French are known for their bread, the English can do toast. When I shop brocantes or flea markets in the Dordogne region just to my northwest, I find a lot of lovely English antiques.

This metal toast stand or rack from the early 1900s is generous in size, and I love its shape. How pretty would this be on your brunch table?

7 inches (16 cm) x 4 ¼ inches (11 cm)

5 ½ inches (14 cm) tall to the highest point
