Brass Pig Swivel Hooks

Set of four brass pig swivel wall hooks, echoing Victorian decorative ironwork when animal motifs were frequently incorporated into functional household fittings. The Victorians brought to functional ironwork, door knockers, boot scrapers, hooks, trivets and brackets, a delight in decorative ornament that transformed the most modest utilitarian object into a small statement of domestic character and taste. The pig, with its associations of farmyard prosperity, good luck and the well-stocked larder, was among the most popular of all animal subjects in this decorative tradition. Ideal for coats, aprons, bags or anything else that needs a home near the door.
