Beeswax 15″ Penny End T Hinge (Pair)

Beeswax 15″ Penny End T Hinge (Pair) – Anvil 33184

Authentic Hand-Forged Heritage Hinges

Bring classic character and strength to your doors with these Beeswax 15″ Penny End T Hinge (Pair). Forged by hand from mild steel, each hinge showcases traditional blacksmithing methods—not welded or fabricated. The rounded penny-style tips offer a softer aesthetic than arrowhead designs, making these a perfect choice for traditional interiors and period renovations.

Ideal for Plank and Ledge Doors

These hinges are most commonly used on ledged, braced, or plank doors. They pair especially well with Suffolk latches, thumb latches, or matching bean D handles. Whether you’re restoring a historic home or designing a rustic cottage interior, this design delivers both charm and function.

For best support, we recommend the hinge arm span two-thirds of the door’s width. However, half-width coverage is often sufficient. If your door is particularly heavy, install a third hinge for extra reinforcement.

Finish: Beeswax

From The Anvil’s Beeswax finish is known for its depth and authenticity. During forging, the steel takes on beautiful variations in colour—ranging from rich blue to deep ochre red. A final hot beeswax dip seals and protects the metal, creating a warm, matte finish that suits period properties beautifully.

Maintenance Tip: Wipe occasionally with a soft cloth and reapply beeswax to preserve its protective layer and visual appeal.

Installation Advice

These T hinges are a timeless alternative to modern butt hinges. When opened, they form a “T” shape and visually enhance traditional door setups. Use two hinges per door, or three for larger, heavier doors.
