Material: Crafted from high-quality cast iron, offering exceptional strength, durability and a timeless appearance. The raw cast iron finish celebrates the honesty of the material and develops additional character over time.

Design: A traditional cast iron shelf bracket with generous proportions and a simple utilitarian form. Originally designed for hardworking spaces, its honest construction and timeless appearance make it equally suited to modern and period interiors.

Style advice from Mark: The Strong Boy is one of those bracket designs that has survived because it simply works. I particularly like it in pantries, utility rooms, workshops and kitchens where strength is required but appearance still matters. The cast iron has an honesty to it that suits Victorian and Georgian interiors especially well.

Installation: Each bracket is unique and should be installed independently — do not use one bracket as a template for positioning another. Easy to install. Supplied with aged brass screws.

Craftsmanship: Carefully handcrafted in a British foundry.

Perfect for: Pantry shelving, utility room shelving, kitchen shelves, workshop storage, bookcases and general-purpose shelving. An enduring cast iron bracket suited to Victorian homes, Georgian properties, country cottages and practical contemporary interiors.

Load Capacity: Rated to support up to 35kg per bracket when the load is evenly distributed and the bracket is installed correctly into a suitable structure.

Recommended Spacing: Approximately 60cm between brackets.

Finish Notes: Raw cast iron will naturally oxidise over time. Each bracket displays subtle variations in tone and surface texture, adding to its character and authenticity.
