Antique Small Cast Iron Wall Shelf Brackets 4x5 inches Victorian

This is a nice pair of antique cast iron brackets. They are a less common small size of 5 x 4 inches, with 3/4 inch maximum width. Judging by the design and workmanship they probably date to 1890s to early 20th century. There is residual paint on the back, and they appear to have had many layers of paint that were stripped away. There is still some paint in the crevices, which you could scrape away.
