Victorian ironwork was all curls and scrolls, and this hanger copies that style in cast aluminum. The Victorian hose holder has an ornate scroll panel with a hook, so a hose coils over it and stays off the ground beside the faucet. It’s bought for older houses, for gardens with an iron fence and by anyone who’d rather see scrollwork than a plastic reel.

Finish options

Black gives the most authentic Victorian look and goes with iron railings and light fixtures. Bronze Verdigris has a soft blue-green tone like old copper. Oil Rubbed Bronze is a dark brown that reads as black in shade and warms up in sun. All three carry the same coating and warranty.

The Victorian hose holder in use

Drape the hose over the hook in loose coils. It drains, stays untangled and is ready to pull without fighting a knot. Mount the holder near the spigot and into something solid, because a full hose has weight. The scroll panel is open, so the wall shows through it, and a contrasting siding color makes the pattern stand out.

Material

Real Victorian iron rusted and ran down the wall. The Victorian hose holder is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum instead, so it won’t rust and won’t stain the siding. The coating’s five-year warranty covers the finish. A rinse when it’s dirty is the whole maintenance plan.

No personalization is offered on this piece, so it ships as cast and can go straight to a gift recipient.

If you want a lighter scroll pattern, the hose holders category has the Perrault design in four finishes, along with chickadee and pinecone versions. And for cast scroll pieces that hold a coat or a lantern near the same door, the hooks and hangers use matching finishes. The Victorian hose holder pairs well with either.
