A pair of antique wooden stocking or sock stretchers - very visual, almost Shaker in their appeal, and great for a wall.  There's a hole in each at the top, so you can hang them easily. 

History

Wooden sock stretchers were used to prevent socks from shrinking after washing and were ubiquitous during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the UK and The States. The development of synthetic fabrics put an end to shrinkage and the need for the stretchers.
