Description: These original, early 20th century hooks are the perfect combination of beauty and practicality. They are a treasure. The ornately detailed fish-style hooks are substantial and large - if properly hung, they can hold a nice amount (bulky coats, hats, towels, blankets, etc.) The cast iron hooks have a fancy antique brass finish. In some lights, it looks yellowish brass. In other lights, it looks brownish brass. And - my favorite - is when the hooks appear greenish (as though tarnished - which they are not, but in certain lights, the illusion is there). Perhaps the best part about these hooks is the unusual way they mount to the wall and slant outwards to the right or left (please see the important note at the bottom of this description for how to choose the direction of your hook(s)). The look is very interesting! Definitely makes a cool statement. I would date roughly to the turn of the 20th century - a little before or a little after, but right around that time. They are in excellent used condition. Considering they are over 100 years old, they impart an old-fashioned beauty and style that isn't available today. The finish is completely intact. There are no breaks, cracks, or fissures. They have been handled with love and care over the years, and it shows. Roughly 7" in lengthRoughly 3" at the widest sectionBase is roughly 1 1/4" diameter Mounting hardware is not included (screws, wall anchors, etc.). IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE HOOKS IF YOU ARE PURCHASINGThis posting originally had 8 hooks: 4 that faced left and 4 that faced right. Currently, only 5 hooks remain for sale: 1 hook that faces left and 4 hooks that face right. When placing an order, please send a note to the seller (that’s me!) indicating the direction of the hook(s) you are purchasing. Thanks!
