Description

T Hinge 4″

A pair of our small-sized black Tee hinges, or old style T hinge with an arrowhead finish. Pre-drilled vintage hinge plates and matching black cottage fixing screws are provided. These smaller antique hinges are 4 3/4″ inches in total length and so suited to smaller traditional doors.

The rustic rectangular T hinge leaf measures 9cm by 1.7 cm and the decorative hinge leaf is 8.5cm long. The head of the arrow measures 2cm wide.

Our wrought iron products are all hand forged, so though similar will not be identical. Each piece is hand finished and given a beeswax coating. All our hand-forged products are carefully aged for an authentic look.

The Blacksmiths

The standard of finish and workmanship in the product is very important to us.

These hinges are forged in the timeless old fashioned way on the anvil. The hinges will show forging marks and, once finished, the hinges are hand polished and hand cleaned. At the end of this process, the hinges are covered with natural beeswax.

Beeswax Finish

The beeswax serves two functions.  In the first instance, the wax permeates into the tiny holes on the surface of the wrought iron. By doing this the wax forms a seal over the surface, thus helps to prevent rusting.

The second function of the wax is to give the hinge a more overall similar colour.  As these hinges are hand forged they will be similar but no piece will be identical.

When you receive your parcel, you will have the correct amount of fixing screws included. These screws will be an old cottage design with a black slotted top and a domed head.
