The Viennese Coffeehouse Newspaper Holder
ItemProduct Story
This is the Austrian newspaper holder made in Vienna used by patrons starting with the 19th century in cafes and public meeting places for keeping a full-format newspaper open in one hand while drinking a cup of coffee. The holder is handmade from bent willow made pliant via repeated soaking and Austrian beech into a 29 1/2" L x 15" W rectangle with a D-shaped crossbrace that provides enough support to keep a U.S.-sized newspaper open. A removable metal rod on the side accommodates a paper’s fold, enabling leisurely reading and page-turning while savoring one’s preferred morning beverage.
