Louie Style 2 Unlacquered Brass Coat and Hat Hook by B&M Hardware

Louie Style 2 rises in a single curve from a small decorative backplate. The compact solid brass form makes a useful point for a coat, robe or scarf, while its unlacquered finish changes naturally with handling. It is a modest detail for a paneled wall, the back of a door or a run of individual hooks.

“I would use this small hook where a larger coat-and-hat form would crowd the panel, keeping the surrounding woodwork visible.”
-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.
