    It has holes to mount it onto something else. Some kind of wall rack?

    Given the tapering “teeth” I would guess it was floor mounted. Boot scraper? But seems too nicely made for that?

    Edit: Or hold fireplace tools?

    I would guess attached to the bottom of the board and then the diagonal arm could be moved to different slot for different height.
