Compass Hook Blackened Bronze by Henry Wilson

The Blackened Compass Hook is made, finished and polished in Sydney, Australia using sand-casted Gunmetal Bronze. For its size, it can bear a surprisingly substantial heft.

Sand-casting involves liquefying metal and pouring it into a sand mould. The Compass Hook is designed around the arcs of a compass; the intersecting lines giving it a feeling of sturdy utility.

Hooks are manufactured in small batches so slight variations will occur from piece to piece. Production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting.

They will arrive with a bright finish but will oxidise and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina.
Simply use a metal polish to restore a like-new finish.
