Your Creative Possibilities
Being sold individually gives you complete creative freedom. Use it alone for a small but striking shelf to display a special sculpture, a trophy, or a favourite book. Purchase a pair to create a classic bookshelf for your paperbacks or decorations. For a longer shelf, you can use several brackets spaced at regular intervals. It also works brilliantly as a support for the end of a breakfast bar or as a purely decorative element under a windowsill to enhance the historical feel of a room.
Craftsmanship with a Soul of the Past
This bracket embodies the craft traditions that saw a major revival in the 19th century. It was the era of the Gothic Revival, when architects and designers looked back admiringly to the Middle Ages, incorporating pointed arches, ornate tracery, and a sense of solid integrity into their designs. Hand-forged ironwork, standing in contrast to the rise of industrial mass production, was highly valued for its uniqueness and quality—exactly the spirit in which this bracket is made.
An Interesting Historical Fact
The Neo-Gothic style reflected in this bracket was so popular that it was used to build some of the world's most famous buildings. Examples include the Houses of Parliament in London and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. The style was an expression of Romanticism and a longing for an idealized medieval past.
Installation and Care for Forged Beauty
Installation
- Plan your placement carefully. Use a spirit level to ensure perfect alignment.
- Hold the bracket against the wall and mark the drill points with a pencil.
- Before drilling, ensure there are no hidden electrical wires or pipes in the wall.
- Drill the holes and, if necessary (for plasterboard or brick), use appropriate wall plugs (anchors).
- Fasten the bracket securely to the wall using high-quality screws (not included).
Product Care
Maintenance is simple. Regularly dust the bracket with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive chemical cleaners or abrasive pads. To refresh the finish and enhance protection, you can occasionally rub the surface with a cloth lightly dampened with mineral or linseed oil.
What You Should Keep in Mind
Remember that the total load-bearing capacity of a shelf depends mainly on the wall material and the quality of the anchoring hardware (screws, plugs). Do not unnecessarily overload the bracket. Don't forget that these brackets are sold individually—for a classic shelf, you will need to purchase at least two. Although the finish is durable, for the longest life we recommend installing the bracket indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area, like a covered porch, where it will not be exposed to direct rain.
