Crafted entirely in brass, it combines clean geometry with subtly curved hooks, resulting in a piece that is both practical and visually refined.
Designed to optimise wall space while maintaining a strong decorative presence, it reflects the emphasis on order, balance and material quality characteristic of Art Deco domestic accessories.
Design and craftsmanship
The rectangular brass frame supports a series of symmetrically arranged double hooks with softly curved profiles. The design is restrained yet expressive, relying on proportion and line rather than ornamentation.
The polished brass surface shows a gentle patina consistent with age, enhancing the depth and warmth of the material without compromising its structural integrity.
