French towel rack/towel holder

I bought a towel rack while in France a few years ago and would like to search the internet for another, but I can%26#39;t remeber the French name for it. There were 4 different hooks labeled for different types of towels--towels used for different items(cups, silverware, etc). Can anyone help? Thanks.

It is called a porte-torchons.




|||



...or a porte serviettes.




|||



a porte-serviettes would be for bath towels, not for kitchen towels.

Thank you!

I saw something similar at a flea market here in Colorado. It was metal but held 3 or 4 ladles instead of towels. Is there a name for this? The two I saw were very expensive-$120. The dealer said they were very rare and from the early 1900%26#39;s. Are they still being made?



Thanks!
