These aged industrial shelf brackets are an innovation of our bestselling bracket (please see Feedback). They are made by us, a small family run business set near the idyllic Sherwood Forest area. In a village straddling the River Trent that can boast a blacksmithing tradition that goes back centuries. In this way, besides quality across all our product range, we give unmatched reliability and sincerity. That’s us, now for the industrial shelf brackets:

These wonderfully unique industrial shelf brackets form part of a new range. As already mentioned, they're based on one of our bestselling designs but now available with a real aged copper oxide. To be clear, this is not blue paint or a faux spray on solution. It is authentic aged copper patina, where through an innovative process we speed up many years of ageing: giving beautiful blues, greens, reds and intermingling golds.

Onto the aged surface we season the industrial shelf bracket with a fixing agent that fixes the aged copper patina to give a glossy hue and a soften feel to the touch. Please note that due to the nature of the copper shelf bracket ageing process, no one shelf bracket is going to be exactly the same and variations in hue can and does occur. However, this unavoidability lends to greater authenticity.

The copper pipe of the shelf brackets are Ca. 8.5 cm in length and Ca. 8.5 cm in height; added to this is the cast iron flanges and their hex brass bushings which sit Ca. 2 cm from the wall/shelf base. This makes the shelf brackets approximately 10 cm in height and length and perfectly suited for shelves up to 22-24 cm in width. For shelves with a slightly wider width we recommend a custom cutting, a made to measure industrial shelf bracket*.

Each industrial shelf bracket has two round cast iron flange mounts, each with a diameter of Ca. 7 cm. The width of the screw you use should ideally be 5 mm; the screw length will depend on the wall type the industrial shelf brackets are going to be fixed to. Personally, and this isn't a recommendation as wall brick/plaster compositions vary, I like to use 5 x 40 mm multi-purpose screw along with a 3.5-5 mm (red) raw plug; whose hole has been made by a 6 mm missionary drill bit. 

Decorative hexagonal solid brass bushings bolt the copper piping to the cast iron flanges. They shall arrive ready mounted and bolted tightly with the three holes configured in such a way that the industrial shelf brackets can easily be fitted.

*If you require a slightly larger or shorter bracket then let us know. There’s a £5 extra charge for custom fabrication for these unique shelf brackets. Just email us your requirements and we’ll send you a link for custom cutting.
