The Kitchen Shelf








The Kitchen Shelf
• Material.
Made from solid sapele hardwood with a hand-applied wax finish. These shelves are sold as standalone timber pieces — brackets are not included.
• Design.
A simple, honest slab shelf available in two thicknesses — 25mm and 44mm. Sold as the timber shelf only, each piece is sized so it can pair seamlessly with our bronze bracket collection if required.
Depth options are matched to bracket sizes as follows:
15cm depth — works with our 4-inch bracket
25cm depth — works with our 8-inch bracket
30cm depth — works with our 10-inch bracket
35cm depth — works with our 12-inch bracket
Widths available: 60cm, 90cm, 120cm, 150cm, 180cm, 210cm, 240cm.
• Style advice from Mark.
Follow the architecture of the space. Use the longer lengths to create uninterrupted runs above worktops, or wrap corners in a pantry for a bespoke feel. The 44mm thickness works beautifully as a single hero shelf, while the slimmer 25mm feels lighter and more traditional when installing multiple shelves together.
• Installation.
If you’re fitting the shelf in an alcove, use our low-cost Clam Brackets — two at each end of the shelf and dotted along the length — exactly as shown in the images. If you’re installing on a flat wall, use any of our other bronze brackets to suit the projection. Brackets are sold separately. Supplied with brass screws.
• Craftsmanship.
Carefully handcrafted in a British workshop.
• Shipping
We ship worldwide, including the USA.
Shelves are dispatched within 3–5 working days via UPS.
• Use Case
Ideal for kitchens, pantries, utility rooms, larders, hallways and living rooms. Perfect for long runs above worktops, wrapping corners in a pantry, or creating generous display shelving when paired with our bronze brackets. Excellent for cookware, ceramics, glassware, or pantry storage.
• Finish Notes
Finished with a natural wax to enhance the rich grain of sapele hardwood. As with all real timber, slight variations in tone and texture occur naturally, adding warmth and character to your space.
We’ll give you a product care note on rewaxing these shelves should you want more — or constant — lustre in your life!
