These coat hooks by Jules Wabbes have been salvaged in 2014 by our team from the former headquarters of the Générale de Banque (now BNP Paribas Fortis). The building, constructed between 1968 and 1979, was located on the Warandeberg in Brussels. Two renowned Belgian designers from that period, Jules Wabbes and Christophe Gevers, were commissioned to design the interiors. They are both well-known for their meticulous approach to craftsmanship and distinctive use of high-quality, timeless materials. Each salvaged item has developed its own unique patina during its time in use.

Used condition. These hooks are made of chrome-plated brass. Over time, the chrome layer has worn away in some places through regular use and exposure, revealing the brass substrate beneath. This wear may result in variations in surface colour and texture, including areas of dullness or minor oxidation. Such changes are consistent with the material composition and age of the hardware. Dusty, needs to be cleaned.
Please note: this hardware is unique and has been salvaged from a bespoke project, meaning each piece may require specific additional work to reinstall. As the items are non-standard and the original mounting system is not included, some adaptation of fixings may be necessary.
