(Clothes) drying rack. My mum used to call it a "screen", I think that was specific to where and when she grew up. Clothes horse I didn't really hear until I moved to Australia. I still find it delightfully quaint tbh.

Side note: I find a lot of older school drying racks here unnecessarily complicated with the lower racks and weird folding mechanisms. Probably a hangover of most people living in larger homes and not as much pressure to design a more compact and less fussy rack. Yes, haha, "rack"...
