ABSTRACT:
A shelf is disclosed which can be used to display artifacts and objects d'art in which the shelf not only serves the utilitarian function of providing a place on which to set the item being displayed, but which becomes a part of a display and can be a decorative object d'art itself. The shelf can also serve as a bracket on which to mount a larger shelf. The shelf itself is three dimensional having a thickness of a minimum of two inches. The shelf has a primary surface, or top, and secondary surface, or bottom. The primary surface is connected to and spaced from the secondary surface by a facing surface and a mounting surface. The primary surface, secondary surface, and the facing surface are generally finished with the same material, either painted or veneered. The mounting surface is flat and has a rectangular opening into a mounting cavity formed by the spaced relationship of the primary surface, secondary surface, and facing surface. Within the mounting cavity is a mounting tooth protruding from at least two sides of the rectangular opening. The mounting tooth is spaced inwardly of the cavity from the mounting surface and within a plane generally parallel to the plane of the mounting surface. A mounting bracket, to be affixed to a wall, has a support arm spaced from the base and creating a channel along the bracket into which the mounting tooth will fit.
