Collector's Notes

Brass animal head hooks like this one were a staple of 1970s and 1980s farmhouse and equestrian decor, made to be both useful and decorative near a back door or mudroom.

A nice pick for a horse lover, a tack room, or anyone furnishing an entryway with real vintage brass instead of a new reproduction.

The "TAIWAN" stamp on the back is a common mark for this kind of decorative brass casting from the era, and it lines up with the weight and detail seen here.

A small, sturdy hook with real presence, ready to hold a coat, a lead rope, or a set of keys.
