Handcrafted Heavy Duty Shelf & Mantel Steel Bracket.

Handcrafted Heavy Duty metal forged shelf bracket. Old blacksmith school. Price is for single bracket. The bracket has three square central bar and holds 90 lbs of load when it is placed on the corner. Do not place heavy things on the edge of the shelf. You will not broke the bracket but you can damage your wall. HOW to choose DIMENSIONS of the bracket?! - Shelf with the bracket 1" shorter than the shelf itself, looks as a proportionally balanced composition. If your shelf is 10" width, choose the bracket 9" length. Standard brackets dimensions: 8" x 10" 8" x 11" 9" x 11" 9" x 12" For manufacturing this bracket I use a flat bar 1 1/2" x 3/16". The square bar in the center is 3/8"x3/8" and it is riveted to the bracket. Square bar due to its thickness 3/8", provides extra strength and security. FINISHES: - Raw steel: brushed and varnished, letting to see you the character of the steel, and feel the touch of the warm hand in each item. Covered with polyurethane varnish. - Organic hot beeswax - multi-layers finish with hot beeswax that gives natural patina, strong corrosion-resistant protection and 100% organic finish. This finish is applied to the brushed and cleaned surface without scale after heating. - Brown paint / gold patina - great resistance for indoor and outdoor use. This finish is applied to the brushed and cleaned surface without a scale after heating. - Satin grey / gold patina - excellent resistance for indoor and outdoor use. This finish is applied to the brushed and cleaned surface without a scale after heating. - Brushed and oil - excellent resistance for indoor and outdoor use. This finish is applied to the brushed and heated surface without a scale after heating. - Oil rubbed bronze - excellent resistance for indoor and outdoor use. This finish is applied to the brushed and cleaned surface without a scale after heating. Each bracket has six holes. Fasteners are not included. Screws are not provided because each wall demands its own type and length of screws. I do not know what kind of wall you have, so I do not want to provide you with wrong screws. Price is for single bracket. Each item is made to order in my workshop in Maryland. I have been doing blacksmith work since 1996. I use traditional blacksmith techniques making unique and contemporary style that would make a useful addition to your home. I put a lot of craftsmanship and care in each item.
