|  | | Cast Iron Brackets
| Iron, among the earliest metals to be worked by humankind, has been crafted by artisans to produce items that were decorative and functional for centuries. Our, classically designed, cast iron brackets are both functional and decorative; used as stunning shelf supports, to frame a doorway, support a window box, adorn a counter overhang or decorate a mailbox post, they are one of the most versatile items we carry.

| Unlike wrought iron, cast iron is too hard and brittle to be shaped by hammering, rolling, or pressing. However, because it is more rigid and more resistant to buckling than other forms of iron, it can withstand great compression loads. Cast iron has the benefit of mass production. Once the mold is made many copies can be produced for reasonable cost. |
