I-hada Sand-Cast Shelf Brackets, Large
£120.00
Ex Tax: £100.00
A pair of hand sand-cast solid brass shelf brackets from a foundry founded in 1897 in the Japanese city of Takaoka in the Toyama Prefecture. With minimal chasing, the castings are largely left ‘i-hada’ — a raw cast surface maintaining any texture or discolouration drawn from the sand into which they were poured — a manifestation of their solidity, manufacture,
and also their uniqueness. These brackets form part of a series of home-wares developed in partnership with Oji Masanori in order to raise awareness amongst a wider public of both the possibilities of the material and the remarkable skills of its artisan producers. Each measures approximately 180mm x 100mm x 30mm, supplied with fixings.
Care Advice
Unlacquered brass will tarnish and develop a natural patina with time. If you wish to bring back its original shine a suitable metal polish like Brasso or Elsterglanz will do the trick — use according to instructions.
