Will it fit? The 55cm shelf suits spices, frames or a short run of books; the 120cm spans an alcove or sits above a worktop. The two look lovely stacked one above the other.

A slim oak board left raw and untreated, so the grain reads openly and gently warms with age. Oil or wax it for a deeper tone, or leave it pale.

The cast iron brackets are the feature, scrolled in the spirit of Victorian ironwork and finishing in a rounded terminal beneath the front edge. The bracket profiles differ slightly between the two sizes.

Wall fixings are not included, as the right screw and plug depend on your wall. For plasterboard, use heavy duty anchors rated well above your intended load, or fix into the studs. The load it can carry depends on your wall and fixings, so do not rely on plasterboard alone for heavy items.

Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry. Keep abrasives away from the cast iron. Best avoided in bathrooms, as steam can mark raw oak and cause cast iron to surface rust unless the timber is sealed and the room well ventilated.

Line it with cookbooks and jars in a kitchen, stack books and a trailing plant in an alcove, or display frames and ceramics in a bedroom. Natural oak and dark iron sit as easily in a period home as a modern one.

Style with pieces from our pots and vases collection for a shelf that looks collected over time.

Are the brackets and fixings included?

The brackets are included. Wall fixings are not, as they depend on your wall type.

How much weight will it hold?

That depends largely on your wall and fixings. Choose fixings suited to the wall and avoid relying on plasterboard alone for heavy loads.

Can I use it in a kitchen?

Yes, it makes a lovely spice or crockery shelf. Bathrooms are less suitable unless the oak is sealed first.

Do the two sizes match?

They share the same oak and iron, though the bracket profiles differ slightly, so together they read as a considered pair.
