Victorian Elegance and Robust Functionality

Where Will This Double Hook Look Best?

This versatile double hook is the ideal solution for hanging coats, hats, scarves, and bags in an entryway or hallway. It also serves wonderfully in the bathroom for robes and towels, or in the bedroom. Its historic look makes it perfect for use in Victorian, gothic, rustic, or steampunk-style interiors. You could even hang a lantern or other decorations from it to create the right atmosphere.

The History of Wall Hooks

While simple pegs and hooks for storing clothes are as old as humanity itself, the decorative cast iron hook became a hallmark of the Victorian era in the 19th century. During this time, the prosperity of the middle class grew, and with it, an emphasis on decorated and representative interiors. The entrance hall was the home's calling card, and even purely functional items, like coat hooks, had to be ornate and elaborate. This design with two hooks, one above the other, is typical of the period—it maximizes storage space while maintaining an elegant look.

Interesting Fact: The Language of Hats

This hook is ideal for hats, which were subject to strict social etiquette in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A gentleman would tip or raise his hat to greet a lady, always remove it upon entering an interior (especially a residence), and place it on a hat stand or a wall hook. Keeping one's hat on indoors was considered the height of bad manners. The coat hook was therefore not just for storage, but part of a social ritual.

Honest Material and Easy Installation

Installation and Care

Installation is simple. The hook is attached to the wall with four screws (two at the top, two at the bottom), which ensures excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. Four matching 38 mm screws are included in the package. Thanks to the durable oil-blackened finish, maintenance is minimal. To clean, simply wipe the hook with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
