Description

Dog Lead Hook

Our rustic wrought iron black Dog Lead Hook is hand forged to produce a traditional finish in matt black with a wax coating. As these hooks are hand-made, they will be similar, but not identical. These hooks are made in four sizes and are perfect for a country cottage look.

Being a small hook, it can easily be fitted to back of a door where space is limited, or indeed could be fitted lower down on the back of a door for a child to use. Despite its delicate look, it is a strong hook and can be used to hang a variety of items.

Uses for our Dog Lead Hook

This small and simple wrought iron hook with a bean end would suit lightweight duties such as hanging tea towels, jackets or scarves and is great for keys. The delicate curl at the end of the hook is an attractive detail and matching fixing screws are provided. Three other sizes are available in this design.

What Wrought Iron do I Need?

Our collection boasts a wide range of hand-forged pieces including our Dog Lead Hook catering to various tastes with items like black wrought iron handles, latches, hinges, and shelf brackets. The carefully aged vintage ironmongery we create offers a true touch of authenticity to any home. We take pride in our selection and invite enthusiasts of genuine, handcrafted ironwork to discover our offerings.

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.
