An exceptional pair of 19th-century French wall-mounted coat hooks, crafted in richly gilded bronze with highly sculptural detailing and imposing weight. These rare architectural elements embody the grandeur and decorative excess of the Second Empire or Neo-Renaissance style, combining mythological and classical inspirations.

Each piece is meticulously cast and finished, featuring three robust, scroll-form hooks radiating from an ornate backplate. The design is brimming with elaborate acanthus leaves, shell motifs, and finely incised ornamentation. At the base, a beautifully rendered female mask with flowing hair and a serene expression adds a captivating human element, subtly reminiscent of Renaissance allegorical figures or celestial beings.

These hooks are not only decorative but also highly functional due to their solid bronze construction and considerable weight. Their durability makes them ideal for heavy coats, riding gear, or as statement towel holders in a luxury interior.

A rare find in this condition and quality, perfect for those looking to integrate antique French charm and sculptural drama into an entryway, dressing room, or boutique hotel project. Patina and light wear consistent with age add to their authenticity and appeal.

Sold as a pair. Original mounting holes present for easy wall installation.
