Victorian Cast Iron Hall Tree Coat Hook 745 Antique Hardware
$29.00
Victorian Cast Iron Hall Tree Coat Hook 745 is a substantial four-prong wall hook with long upper arms, shorter lower hooks, decorative openwork, and round finial tips.
I like this piece for an entryway, mudroom, restored hall tree, or period hardware project where the aged cast iron surface can stay visible instead of being made to look new.

Positives
- Graded Good: The hook appears complete and solid with the kind of visible wear expected from old working hardware.
- All four hook ends and their rounded finials are present.
- The decorative openwork and ribbed casting remain clearly defined.
- Both mounting holes are open and visible.
- No cracks or broken arms are visible in the supplied photos.
Issues / Wear
- The black surface shows uneven finish loss, rubbing, oxidation, and aged patina throughout.
- There is brown and greenish discoloration in recessed areas and around portions of the mounting plate.
- The surface is not freshly restored. I would consider that appropriate character for old architectural hardware rather than a flaw that needs to be hidden.
If you collect Victorian cast iron hall tree hardware, this casting 745 still has all four prongs and its aged patina. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.
