Hand forged iron shelf brackets have endless possibilities! Attach the brackets over a window and the hooks will hold draped fabric for swag curtains. Or put a dowel rod through the hooks and you can hang valances and tiers. You can even place the brackets on both sides of a window to create a plant shelf, or you can make a shelf in the bathroom for towels and supplies. Brackets hold up to a 5 1/2" shelf (ask for a "one by six" if you go to the hardware store.) Size to fit your space! Shelf and dowel rod are not included. All shelf brackets and curtain holders on this website are made in the USA!
