In Victorian times, toast was made and then placed in a rack to be set out on the table. The toast rack, along with many other small items owned by Sarah, were given to me by my grandmother (her daughter). It is always difficult to know how or when to use such items but I have a yearly use for this toast rack.

How lovely to see a family piece like this still in use! (And believe it or not, there are plenty of boarding houses in Britain which still use them to serve the toast).
I never knew these toast racks were still in use - thanks for your comment Caroline!
I use a toast rack still. 'd luv to find one like yours. Most I see are silver or stainless steel without personality. Great you have found a use for it. It is lovely
