Vintage chrome steel coat hooks by Jean Royère, France 1950

This rare pair of Mid-Century chrome-plated coat hooks by avant-garde French designer Jean Royère are incredibly stylish and functional. Born in Paris, Jean Royère (1902-1981) made an international reputation as designer of luxury interiors in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America in the jet-setting 50s and 60s. Both coat hooks are stamped verso with J R DEPOSE. The coat hooks are beautifully sculpted from squared chrome-plated steel, which gives them a very Modernist look. The top hook features a knop, which appears as though it’s just balancing on top of the square section of steel. The lower hook has a broad curved arm so is perfect for jackets, causing minimal stress to your coats or hat! We have two sets of Jean Royère coat hooks for sale, listed separately as two are nickel plated and two are chrome plated, so there is a colour difference as nickel has a warmer, more yellow tone than chrome - please see images showing all four.
