The Raw Elegance of the Middle Ages

Where Will This Holder Be Best Applied?

This circular holder is ideal for hanging a towel in the bathroom or a tea towel in the kitchen. Its robust and authentic appearance is perfectly suited for spaces with a rustic, medieval, or gothic theme. It will be a dominant feature in a cottage, a castle dining hall, a stylish tavern, or a fantasy-inspired interior. For a perfectly cohesive look, you can combine it with other forged accessories to create a unified and impressive whole.

Forged Hardware as a Mark of Quality

In the Middle Ages and later periods, visible hardware such as hinges, handles, or holders was not just a functional element but also a sign of the owner's quality and status. Hand-forged iron was a symbol of durability and resilience that was meant to last for generations—in stark contrast to cheaper, less reliable materials. The visible hammered texture was a sign of the blacksmith's honest handiwork and the strength of the piece. This holder is therefore a direct link to this tradition of durable and high-quality craftsmanship.

Interesting Fact: Blackening with Fire and Oil

The surface treatment of this holder, so-called oil blackening, is an ancient blacksmithing technique. It consists of heating the finished product to a high temperature and then quenching or coating it in oil (traditionally linseed oil). The oil polymerizes on the hot surface, creating a hard, durable, and deep black protective layer. It is a traditional, environmentally friendly alternative to modern paints and lacquers that gives the iron an inimitable appearance.

Honest Material and Easy Installation

Installation and Care

Installation is simple. The bracket is attached to the wall with four screws, which ensures excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. Screws are not included, allowing you to choose the fasteners most appropriate for your wall surface (brick, wood, plasterboard, etc.). Thanks to the durable finish, maintenance is minimal. To clean, simply wipe the holder with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
