What is it? Item found in Scotland school

[Rob H.]

I'm trying to find out the purpose of the item in the photos below, it was found in a school in Hatton Aberdeenshire.





It's not necessarily school related and is 38 cm x 20 cm.

Please let me know if you recognize it. Thanks for taking a look.

is it for hanging your shoes up?

Looks like a brush holder, either for clothes brushes or horse brushes.

Aye, I'd agree with that, clothes or shoe brushes! wullie m.

Certain unspoken S&M practices spring to mind involving putting your hands through the square bridge bits then holding on for dear life to the hook bits.

Thanks for all of the replies, brush holder sounds like it's probably the correct answer, someone had sent me the photos, I'll pass the answer along to them.

Aussie thinks it might be a liquor bottle holder, decanter holder ?
