Vintage Style Small Hook
Our rustic, Vintage Style Small Hook in black wrought iron has a smooth, sturdy body tapering to a fine curl. The head of the hook is finished with a diamond end detailing.
This is one of our smaller hooks, but still packs plenty of character and is perfect for storing lighter items such as keys, delicate cups, tea towels and lightweight jackets.
As our hooks are hand forged, though similar, they will not be identical and each piece is given a wax coating in the traditional way, giving it an authentic look.
Fitting our Vintage Style Small Hook
As this size 1 Vintage Style Small Hook is surface mounted, the fitting is relatively simple. If, however, you intend to fix this hook to a wall please be aware of water pipes and electrical cables. A fixing screw will be included in your package.

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.
