Louie Style 1 Unlacquered Brass Coat and Hat Hook by B&M Hardware

Louie Style 1 makes a compact upward curve from a narrow mounting plate. The solid brass hook supplies a small, practical place for a robe, towel or light accessory without adding a large silhouette to the wall. Its polished, unlacquered finish gradually changes with use, bringing natural variation to the brass.

“I would use this compact hook where the wall space is narrow, keeping a robe or towel within reach without filling the whole panel with hardware.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust with a soft cloth. For cleaning, wipe gently with a barely damp cloth and a little mild soap, then wipe clean and dry immediately, protecting nearby wood or painted surfaces from moisture. The unlacquered brass will naturally darken and develop patina with handling and exposure. If you prefer a brighter surface, use a brass polish suitable for unlacquered brass, following its directions and testing discreetly first. Avoid abrasive pads. Periodically check that the mounting screws remain snug without overtightening.

Maker / Heritage

B&M Hardware takes clear cues from Victorian, Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts interiors, retaining the shaped backplates, curved arms and compact proportions that give those details their character. The construction varies with the purpose: solid brass castings give hooks their shaped substance, while spun brass forms the hollow shells of certain cabinet knobs. It is an approach suited to an older house or a new piece of millwork that needs a convincing architectural detail, with the material and profile considered together.
