Description
Cup Hook Black
Our Cup Hook Black is a hand forged screw-in utility hook and can be mounted under a shelf, on a dresser, behind a door or on a wall. Adding a rustic aesthetic to a room, this versatile storage hook can hold a coffee mug or cup. As the hook is traditionally hand forged on the anvil each hook will be slightly different, ensuring charm and character. This screw-in hook is made in three other sizes, so there is one to suit almost every storage requirement. As these hooks are hand-made, they will be similar but not identical.
Fitting our Cup Hook Black
As this is a surface mounted hook, the installation of our Cup Hook Black is straight forward. If you are screwing this hook to shelves or beams, especially oak, we advise that you drill a pilot hole of approximately 3mm first. Please ensure you check for water pipes and electric cables if fixing to a wall.
Uses for Our Cup Hook Black
This screw in Cup Hook Black has a multitude of uses for storage of items around your home. Our Under Shelf Hanging Hook can be used both internally and externally, but if being used externally it will eventually develop surface rust. This is normal and will not affect the integrity of the hook. If you choose to paint the hook, rub down with some wire wool first, then apply a coat of good quality rust proof paint.

About Wrought Iron
The rarity of genuine wrought iron is on the rise due to its laborious and costly manufacturing process. Historically, blacksmiths mould the white-hot metal using tongs and a steam hammer. Yet, with the advent of less expensive contemporary materials like steel, the production of wrought iron has dwindled, making it nearly twice as expensive as steel. Today, incorporating wrought iron elements into your home decor can provide a distinctive and attractive look.
The charm of incorporating handcrafted items into a home is greatly appreciated. Picturing a blacksmith labouring, shaping wrought iron on an anvil with the glow of a coal forge behind them, not only evokes a romantic image but also highlights the technical superiority of wrought iron above cast iron.
Modern materials have been revolutionized by the addition of glasslike iron silicate to the smelting process, which endows the material with remarkable malleability when heated. The fibrous structure of this material absorbs stress, leading to a lighter weight and enabling the creation of complex curves and twists that distinguish wrought iron accessories. Additionally, the presence of silicate enhances corrosion resistance, rendering wrought iron exceptionally durable against harsh weather conditions, ideal for outdoor features like doors and windows where both aesthetics and durability are essential.
