Two wrought iron game hangers of varying forms, likely 19th or early 20th century. The first is a large circular hanger constructed from a thick iron band secured with rivets. It features twelve decorative double-scroll hooks in a heart shape arranged along the top edge, with twelve larger outward-curving hooks positioned at the base. The piece is supported by a three-point chain suspension meeting at a central iron ring. The second is a domed or crown style hanger, featuring a central circular band joined by three arched ribs meeting at a top suspension loop. The band is decorated with hand-cut and scrolled ironwork including stylized bird silhouettes and scrolled finials. It features six large outward-curving hooks at the base and smaller hooks on the inner circumference. Both pieces exhibit a dark, oxidized finish with evidence of manual assembly and hand-hammering.
