Louis Philippe style Antique Brass Hooks

Pair of Louis Philippe style Antique Brass Coat Hooks
c. 1900–1920
9.25" H x 4.25" D

This matched pair of antique French coat hooks is crafted from solid brass with a warm, naturally aged patina. The elongated upper arms end in rounded ball finials, and the lower curved hooks offer extra hanging space. The overall shape reflects the influence of the Louis Philippe style, with its hallmark preference for soft curves, balanced proportions, and understated ornamentation. Though produced in the early 20th century, these hooks carry forward the elegant practicality that defined French design in the mid-19th century.

Originally used in French entryways, dressing areas, or mounted to hall stands, hooks like these served as a functional element in daily life—holding coats, hats, or walking sticks in both private homes and public interiors. Brass versions like this pair were especially common in bourgeois apartments, where utility met understated refinement.

Each piece shows surface wear and a well-developed patina consistent with age. Structurally sound and ready to mount (screws not included), they offer both visual appeal and everyday utility.

Ideal for an entryway, bathroom, or mudroom, these hooks add a touch of French character while serving as functional hangers for coats, towels, hats, or baskets. Their classic lines and historical roots make them easy to integrate into both rustic and refined interiors.
