Primitive Magazine Racks

Primitive magazine racks are not usually as big as modern magazine racks because household magazines were not as abundant a century ago as they are now.  Some antique magazine racks even doubled as letter holders, they were so small.

Nevertheless, a primitive magazine rack is a perfect accessory to the country home.  There are basically two styles: a wall mount magazine rack and the more common floor rack.

A wall mount magazine rack is convenient, but smaller than floor racks if you want to really use it.  If you're looking for a primitive wall mount magazine rack, be aware that you may not get many magazines in it.  Use it instead for a display of your most recent favorite country decorating magazines and books.
