Forged Wall Hook with Diamond Backplate, 9 cm

A Stylish Detail for Everyday Life

This hook is the ideal solution for hanging a coat in the hallway, a dish towel in the kitchen, or a hand towel in the bathroom. Its elegant design also invites more imaginative uses. Create an original composition on your wall with several hooks and hang handbags, hats, or even a planter with a trailing plant. Thanks to its sturdy construction and two-screw mounting, it will securely hold heavier jackets or bags of groceries.

From the History of the Blacksmith's Art

More Than Just a Hook on the Wall

In the past, forged items were not just about function; they were also a reflection of the owner's taste and status. While an ordinary hook might have been simply hammered into the wall, a hook with a decorative mounting plate was a step above. The backplate not only distributed the load and protected the wall surface from damage, but it also provided the blacksmith with a canvas for artistic expression. Simple geometric shapes like squares or diamonds were popular for their visual purity and elegance.

A Point of Interest: The Practical Curled Tip

The elegantly curled tip of the hook is not just for decoration. This feature had a very practical purpose in history. A sharp or blunt-cut end of a hook could easily snag or tear the delicate fabrics of garments, loops, or straps. The smooth, rounded end prevented this damage and ensured that hung items could be easily removed without catching. It's a small detail that shows how thoughtfully and practically craftsmen of the past considered their work.

Installation and Care

Quick and Easy Installation

You can mount this hook in moments. Place the hook on the wall, level it to your liking (for example, with a spirit level), and mark the centers of the two mounting holes. For a wooden surface, pre-drill the holes with a smaller drill bit. If mounting into a wall, use wall plugs appropriate for your wall type. Finally, fasten the hook securely with the included screws.

How to Care for Your Forged Hook

Maintenance is very simple. Simply wipe the hook with a dry cloth to remove dust. In a humid environment like a bathroom, we recommend occasionally treating the surface with a cloth containing a drop of natural oil (such as linseed oil) to revive its appearance and enhance protection.

What to Avoid

The hook is designed for hanging clothes and other common items. Do not use it as a grab handle or a footstep. Ensure it is always securely fastened to a solid, load-bearing surface to support the intended weight.
