How should I clean the Flamingo Wall Hook?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the vintage patina.
Will the brass finish change over time?

What is the weight of the hook?

Does this hook come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware (screws, anchors) is not specified as included. It is recommended to use appropriate hardware for your wall type.
Is the brass lacquered?
No, the brass is non-lacquered, allowing it to develop a natural patina.
Troubleshooting
Hook feels loose after mounting
Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened and that appropriate wall anchors for your wall type were used. If mounting on drywall without a stud, heavier-duty anchors may be required.
Brass finish appears uneven or discolored
This is a natural characteristic of the non-lacquered brass developing a patina. To achieve a more uniform look, clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. For a brighter finish, specialized brass polish can be used, but note this will alter the intended vintage patina.
Hook does not match other Foundryman hardware
The non-lacquered brass finish is designed to develop a unique patina that can vary slightly over time and with environmental conditions. While colors are matched during manufacturing, slight variations are normal. Ensure all items are from the same product line within The Foundryman range for best consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Flamingo Wall Hook is designed for easy mounting. Ensure you have appropriate wall anchors and screws for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, wood). For best results, locate wall studs if possible.
Compatibility: This hook is suitable for mounting on most interior wall surfaces. It is designed to complement other hardware from The Foundryman range, ensuring a consistent aesthetic.
