Frequently Asked Questions
Are polished brass coat hooks suitable for modern homes?
Are polished brass coat hooks suitable for modern homes?
Yes. While they’re ideal in classic interiors, polished brass also provides a warm contrast in modern settings — especially when paired with dark walls or industrial textures.
Do polished brass hooks tarnish over time?
Do polished brass hooks tarnish over time?
Most polished brass hooks are lacquered to resist tarnishing. Regular dusting and gentle cleaning will help maintain their bright finish.
What’s the difference between lacquered and unlacquered polished brass?
What’s the difference between lacquered and unlacquered polished brass?
Lacquered polished brass has a clear protective coating that helps preserve its shiny, golden finish and prevents tarnishing. It's low-maintenance and ideal for those who want a consistent, polished look. However, lacquer can break down over time due to exposure to moisture, cleaning chemicals, or frequent handling — which may eventually allow the brass beneath to oxidise.
Unlacquered brass, on the other hand, is intentionally left uncoated. It ages naturally and develops a warm patina, giving it a vintage, lived-in feel that many homeowners and designers love.
What wall fixings are best for installing coat hooks?
What wall fixings are best for installing coat hooks?
Use wall plugs for masonry or drywall anchors for plasterboard. Always check the weight limit of the hook if you plan to hang heavier items like coats or bags.
