I am a brass tool holder. I am like the old sturdy tree with strong roots that won’t sway in the wind or topple over in a storm. I’m sure-footed in that sense and will be perfect for your precious kitchen tools!
Curator's Notes
The weight and water-resistance of the solid brass make it an ideal object for holding kitchen tools on a counter. It’s heavy enough to counterbalance the height of long objects, which makes it great for daily use. The brass material also keeps the coloration looking richer over many years of usage due to oxidization.
