The Legacy of Gothic Masters
The design of this hook rack carries clear elements of Gothic art, which flourished in Europe from the 12th to the 15th centuries. Ironwork from this period was never purely functional; it always carried a symbolic and decorative dimension. The trefoil (or cloverleaf) shape at the ends is a classic Gothic architectural motif, seen frequently in the tracery of cathedral windows, on furniture, and in illuminated manuscripts. This rack thus brings a piece of majestic medieval aesthetics into the modern interior.
A Tale from History: The Symbolism of the Trefoil
In the deeply religious society of the Middle Ages, nothing was accidental. The trefoil was one of the most widespread symbols, referencing the Holy Trinity (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Craftsmen incorporated this motif into their work not only for aesthetic reasons but also to imbue the object with spiritual meaning and a protective function. A hook rack bearing this symbol could therefore be seen not just as a practical item, but as a small guardian of the home.

Installation and Care
Easy Installation
The rack is mounted using four screws, which are included for your convenience. With two holes on each end, the mounting is very stable. Place the rack against the wall, use a spirit level to align it, and mark your holes for drilling. For the best results and high load capacity, fasten it to a solid surface (like brick or a wooden stud) or use appropriate anchors for your wall type.
Low Maintenance
This hook rack is made of durable cast iron and is virtually maintenance-free. For indoor use, simply dusting it is sufficient. The black finish is durable and resistant to everyday wear and tear.
What to Avoid
Although the rack is very strong, its maximum load capacity depends on the quality of the mounting in the wall. Do not overload it if it is not securely anchored in a load-bearing material. The rack is not designed to be sat on or used as a step.
