Set of 3 Ornate Cast Iron Hall Tree Hooks, c1890

Description

Featuring bold scrolling and foliate decoration and a rather unusual construction method, this set of three ornate cast iron hall tree hooks have double hanging spots on both sides, though this is a little less obvious than in some designs. Original cast iron surface shows through slightly oxidized patina.

In case you are wondering what makes a hook a "hall tree hook" it would be having a single attached post or threaded bolt on the back that mounts with a nut from behind - try installing one of these on a wall and you'll see why they work best on pieces of furniture instead.
