Victorian Cast Iron Double Coat Hook, 19cm - Set of 2

Classic Elegance and Functionality

Each hook boasts a timeless design typical of the 19th century. The long upper arm is finished with a decorative acorn-style tip, while the shorter lower arm provides additional hanging space. The elegant curve of the hook is complemented by an ornate mounting plate with two screw holes. The hooks are precisely cast from solid steel and given a traditional blackened finish for an authentic patina.

Versatile Use Throughout the Home

These double hooks are the perfect organizational solution for any room. In the hallway, you can hang the whole family's coats. In a bedroom or dressing room, they can hold robes and clothes. In the bathroom, they elegantly hold both large bath sheets and smaller hand towels. Mount them individually or in a row on a wooden plank to create your own custom wall-mounted coat rack.

A Glimpse into the Victorian Home

This style of hook is an iconic example of the Victorian era (c. 1837–1901). During this period, industrial development made cast iron an affordable material, enabling the mass production of ornate yet functional household items. The hallway became an important reception area, and a typical piece of furniture was the "hall stand"—a large piece featuring a mirror, an umbrella holder, and these very hooks for the coats of residents and guests alike.

A Fascinating Detail from History

An interesting piece of etiquette from the Victorian era relates to hats. While a gentleman was always required to remove his hat upon entering a home, a lady could keep hers on, especially during shorter social visits, as it was considered part of her complete outfit. A coat hook in the hall was therefore an absolute necessity, primarily for the master of the house and his male guests.

Installation and Care

How to Install the Product

Installation is very easy. Place the hook in the desired location, mark the position of the two holes with a pencil, and pre-drill them. Use suitable wall plugs (not included) depending on your wall type, and then firmly attach the hook with the included screws.

How to Care for the Product

A dry or slightly damp cloth is all that is needed to clean the hooks. Avoid using aggressive chemicals or abrasive sponges that could damage the finish.

What to Note

The hooks are designed for the normal load of clothing and accessories. Do not use them as steps or for hanging items of extreme weight.
