About this piece
A shelf made for showing plates: a groove routed into the top holds the rim, so platters and dishes stand upright and stay put. It does the job of a traditional plate rail on a single floating board.
In mahogany, the dark board sets off white ceramics and patterned china, a natural fit for the wall above a sideboard. Lengths run 12 to 84 inches, so one shelf can carry a full row of plates across a dining room wall.
The board is solid wood on hidden brackets, with the groove cut in our Brooklyn shop. Also available in oak, walnut stain, or poplar for painting.
It holds framed art and cookbooks the same way it holds plates: leaned back, facing the room.
