Our Copy of a Federal Hanging Shelf

Transform your living space with this Federal Style Hanging Shelf. This hanging shelf is copied from one of a pair we currently own. This mahogany shelft is hand made. Certainly, this piece will become a collector's item. Properly installed this dainty shelf can hold countless memories of your well-trodden paths. The first one of these we made held a set of original Pewter Steins. Weight there's more.

Pictured is a mahogany shelf which is ready to hang with you. Another option is for us to make one out of what wood you would like and a size to fit.

This is the top post, again hand turned and set in place into a mortise. There are no dowels. the post seen here has a tenon on either end, or as pictured top and bottom, cut from the actual post itself. The tenon is captured by the mortise with a lifelong embrace. Also speaking of embraces there are two plate grooves for holding your cherished treasures safely in place. 

Not that we would recommend it but with dovetails, cut and fit, top and bottom you could pile your gold on the bottom shelf. If correctly attached to the wall you might even be able to pile on a second shelf. If you need a third shelf for your gold, please let us know. There is a horizontal bracket which gets fastened to the wall to support the weight and brass clips on the top which keep it stationary. Same as the originals.
