As the hook is traditionally hand forged on the anvil, each hook will be slightly different, adding to its charm and character. Fitting of our Black Cup Hook This Rustic Black Cup Hook is a surface mounted hook, so installation is straight forward. If you are screwing this hook to shelves, or into oak beams especially, we advise that you drill a pilot hole of approximately 3mm first. As a safety precaution if fixing to a wall, please check for water pipes and electric cables first. This wrought iron screw-in Rustic Black Cup Hook has a multitude of uses and can be fitted both internally and externally. If being used externally, it will eventually develop surface rust, which 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.
