I am looking for a decorative nail. (if there is such a thing.) To hang things on the wall, and the nail is exposed. Low enough profile...not a hook. Perry

Yeah, well...he can look up the Maze Nail site, which I'm not about to do right now. Check out Tremont Nails there.

I always liked 6" lagscrews they add real charm to any piece of work

[Mark Hopkins]

I thought you actually preferred the rusted, bent ones for that classic distressed look?

[Eric Johnson]

Only the real special ones like wedding photos ;-)

Here what you need, feel free to call one of our sales staff if you have any questions:

But seriously, what are you hanging? Heavy items require heavy hangers, for lightweight items a simple brad can suffice.

A search for "decorative picture frame hangers" found these and many more:

But I really think your best one is here, they have a whole "flock" of what you're looking for:

should get you started. Mike

You might try looking for wiring harness board nails. They're chrome plated with a smooth round end and a little collar to control how deep they're driven into the board. Panduit makes them.

Ok, since it seems you're serious about this question, I have to ask why you would EVER want to have the hanging wire visible (this applies to pictures mainly - i'm not sure about the other items you listed).

There is absolutely no reason that I can think of why you would ever need to have the cord exposed. Sure, there are a lot of poorly hung picture frames out there with the wires poorly or improperly installed, but that doesn't mean you should find pretty nails. You should take the old wire off and reinstall it properly or replace it.

"Museum" look? Wires from hangboards well above eye level.

After re-reading his post, I think he really is looking for hangers for those fancy Victorian decorative rope thingies.

If you're going for a rustic look, try a horseshoe nail.

[Mike in Mystic]

oh. I see why that never crossed my mind.

well, I think you just pointed Perry in the right direction.

Lee Valley has nails in Stainless, Silicon Bronze, Copper as well as cut nails which resemble handmade nails. You're not Cajun are you?
