Dutch Broom Hanger

Why we carry this

After a decade of peddling these contraptions to every soul who wandered into our shop, we've finally taken matters into our own hands—quite literally. This Dutch broom hanger is our homage to a gift from Gary Glascock, a man who taught me that a broom deserves better than to languish in a corner like yesterday's newspaper. The mechanism is refreshingly honest: a wooden ball that obeys the laws of gravity with the reliability of a banker's conscience. Push upward and it releases; pull downward and it locks tight enough to hold your Dutch broom, your towels, or whatever else you've deemed worthy of wall space. No springs, no nonsense—just wood doing what wood has done since the beginning of time. Crafted from Kentucky lumber, each hanger carries the virtue of being locally sourced, which is to say we've spared the trees of distant lands and supported our neighbors instead. At 8½ inches tall and 4½ inches wide, it fits most handle sizes with the generosity of a well-meaning relative. Pair it with our matching broom handles for a display that suggests you've got your life organized—even if you don't.
