Cast Iron Bracket For Sale on 1stDibs

With a vast inventory of beautiful furniture at 1stDibs, we’ve got just the cast iron bracket you’re looking for. Frequently made of iron, metal and ceramic, every cast iron bracket was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without a cast iron bracket — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. Each cast iron bracket bearing Victorian, Industrial or Neoclassical hallmarks is very popular. A large cast iron bracket can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller cast iron bracket available at 1stDibs — each spanning 3.25 in width — may make for a better choice.

How Much is a Cast Iron Bracket?

The average selling price for a cast iron bracket at 1stDibs is $1,165, while they’re typically $80 on the low end and $12,000 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Building And Garden Elements for You

Choosing the right antique or vintage building and garden elements can prove pivotal when you’re working to beautify any room in your home or just put the finishing touches on a garden or other outdoor area.

It takes time and effort to improve your outdoor space or merely to bring an air of tranquility to an indoor area set aside for private relaxation or gathering with friends. The good news is that 1stDibs can help.

To introduce a sense of timelessness to a back patio or interior common area, choose cast-stone statues or sculptural busts for a dose of drama or select ornate architectural elements such as corbels, plaques or panels made of marble or iron. Elsewhere, find a focal point in your living room and create a “feature wall” by bringing pops of color into a corner with handmade antique ceramic tiles.

It helps when design changes like these have a practical upside too.

Victorian cast-iron stair treads hearken back to a time when adding decorative details to your property was a priority. While lending an attractive appearance to an exterior staircase, these safeguards render the steps slip-resistant for those coming and going. And as one good stylistic choice usually leads to another, pairing your sophisticated treads with a coupling of 19th-century hand-forged andirons would be a thoughtful, durable touch for any courtyard or comfortable lounge space, be they intended for an indoor fireplace or a patio firepit.

Where the garden is concerned, any sophisticated garden ornaments you select should work with nature, not against it. Wrought-iron garden gates will simply refuse to be relegated to the background. Instead, they’ll draw attention to your painstakingly sculpted hedges and colorful flora. When paired with a sparse arrangement of other tasteful additions, such as a stone planter, garden stool or other welcoming pieces of outdoor seating, the effect can be transformative.

On 1stDibs, find a sprawling collection of antique garden furniture and architectural elements that meet every need. Our offerings include everything from sculptural bathroom fixtures to flooring ideas to pedestals and columns designed in a variety of styles and much more.
