Refined Historical Design

The design of these hooks is inspired by classic Victorian style. Each piece is distinguished by graceful curves and ornate details. The top section is finished with a wide "hat rest," ideal for placing a hat without it losing its shape. Below this, you'll find a decorative mounting plate with four holes for maximum stability, and two smaller hooks for coats, bags, or other accessories. The hooks are crafted from durable cast steel with a traditional blackened finish.

An Elegant Accent for Any Interior

These elegant hooks will become the pride of your entryway, hall, or dressing room. They are ideal for creating a luxurious wall-mounted coat rack. You can also use them in a bedroom for hanging robes or in a spacious bathroom for towels. Their sophisticated design will also stand out in commercial spaces such as boutique hotels, stylish cafes, or offices decorated in a vintage style.

A Nod to Victorian Practicality

In Victorian society (c. 1837–1901), appearance and proper attire played a crucial social role. Clothing was often complex, and hats were an essential part of the wardrobe for both men and women. The design of this hook was therefore not just a matter of aesthetics but also of high practicality. The wide top section was specifically designed to hold a hat without damaging its brim or shape, which was essential for maintaining one's social standing.

A Fascinating Fact from History

An interesting ritual from the Victorian home is that of the calling card. Upon arriving for a visit, a guest would present their calling card to the servant who answered the door. The card was placed on a special silver tray in the entryway. While the guest removed their coat and hat at a hook like this, the master or lady of the house would review the card and decide whether to receive the visitor. The entryway was thus the key point of first social contact.
