Rococo Revival | Eastlake Hardware
This pair of antique gilded metal wall hooks dates to the early twentieth century and reflects the Victorian Rococo Revival style that blended elegance with everyday utility. Each hook is cast in a warm, gold-toned metal with beautifully detailed scrolled arms, floral rosette finials, and acanthus leaf motifs. These decorative elements were a hallmark of the late Victorian and Edwardian taste for refined hardware, where even simple household pieces were designed to feel ornamental.
Hooks like these were originally placed in entry halls, dressing rooms, and parlors to hold hats, wraps, scarves, or lightweight textiles. Today they bring an instant touch of European charm to modern interiors and work beautifully as coat hooks, towel hooks, curtain tiebacks, or as a creative way to display fabric swatches, wreaths, or seasonal decor. The pair has an inviting patina that speaks to age and use, offering a character and warmth that modern reproductions cannot replicate.
Their matched form makes them ideal for symmetrical styling, whether flanking a doorway, framing a mirror, or accenting a guest room. These hooks are a perfect way to add historical detail to spaces that need a little extra personality while staying subtle and timeless.
Condition:
Both hooks are in good antique condition with expected age-related wear. The gilt finish shows gentle patina and darkening in recessed areas, consistent with early twentieth century gilded metal. The cast detailing remains crisp throughout the floral rosettes and scrollwork. Light surface marks and small areas of finish variation are present from age and handling. The mounting stems are secure and ready for installation. No cracks or structural issues noted.
