Many thanks for all your efforts with this. I actually found an illustration of one of these hooks and it has a curled (and therefore closed) end rather than an open hook. In fact I used 'twisted ceiling hook' but retrospectively think perhaps your suggestion was better. I couldn't find a reference to either twisted or curled ceiling hooks in English resources.
