The hanger manufacturer said that the hanger was invented by a worker named Albert Parkhouse. At that time, he was a blacksmith who made wire lampshades and a small handicraft business in Michigan, USA. One day, he was very angry to find that all the coat hooks in the factory cloakroom were occupied. He took out a lead wire, bent it into a coat, shaped the shoulders, and added hooks to it. His boss took the invention for himself and applied for a patent, and the hanger was born.
The hanger manufacturer said that the hanger was an early furniture in my country. The Zhou Dynasty began to implement the ritual system and attached great importance to clothing. In order to meet this need, hangers specifically for hanging clothes appeared earlier. Hangers in different dynasties have different shapes and names. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the horizontal wooden pole used to hang clothes was called "ridge", also known as "woodenware". In the Song Dynasty, the use of hangers was more common than in previous dynasties, and colorful materials also appeared. The hangers in the murals of the Song Dynasty tombs in Wei County, Henan Province, are supported by two vertical and horizontal wooden strips, slightly inverted, and made into a flower shape. Two horizontal wooden columns are used to stabilize the columns at the bottom, and a crossbeam is added between the two columns at the bottom of the upper crossbar for reinforcement.
Hanger manufacturers said that the overall shape of Ming Dynasty hangers still retains the traditional shape, but the materials, workmanship and decoration are particularly exquisite. There are two columns at the bottom of the hanger, with relief patterns on both sides of the inside and outside. The columns are embedded in the columns, and two curling flowers are engraved on the front and back. The upper and lower parts of the teeth are connected to the columns, which are connected by wooden stakes, and the two columns are equipped with grids connected by small wooden pieces. Since the bar has a certain width, shoes and other things can be placed. The bottom surface of each horizontal member and the connection between the column is supported by a hollow arc pattern and floral teeth. Ming Dynasty hangers have reached a high artistic level in terms of material selection, design, and carving.
The clothes hangers of Ming and Qing Dynasties are elegant in shape, exquisite in patterns, finely carved and colorful. Officials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties wore black hats with red gauze tassels, and long robes with horseshoe collars, with patches on the front and back of the sleeves. Therefore, the clothes hangers of the Qing Dynasty are tall, and the columns are horizontal bars, with both ends cantilevered and carved. When it is placed on the horizontal bar, it is called a door frame. The Qing Dynasty implemented the "change of clothes" policy and advocated wearing Manchu costumes. The Manchus were tall and wore large and heavy clothes. The clothes of the rich and powerful officials were mostly made of silk and satin as the base, with piled flowers and embroidered phoenixes. Therefore, the prosperity, dignity and vastness of the clothes hangers in the Qing Dynasty are the characteristics of this period and the difference from other eras.
