Rustic Western Equestrian Wall Shelf

This is a wall-mounted decorative shelf featuring a rustic Western or equestrian theme. The piece is constructed with a solid wooden top plank, likely pine or a similar soft wood, which has been stained in a medium-to-dark walnut finish. The wooden shelf is supported by two authentic-style metal horseshoes that have been repurposed as structural brackets, welded to a lower metal framework. Centered between the horseshoes is a silhouette of a running horse cut from flat sheet metal, exhibiting a naturally weathered patina with hints of surface oxidation and dark coloration. A curved metal rail or bar extends outward and across the bottom, likely serving as a towel rack or decorative guard rail. The craftsmanship suggests a folk-art or 'hand-made' quality rather than mass production, common in late 20th-century rustic home decor. Condition-wise, the item shows moderate wear including light scuffs on the wood’s edges and a significant amount appealing patina on the metal elements consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks, suggesting it may be a boutique artisan piece or a high-quality hobbyist project. The overall design aesthetic fits classic Americana or cabin-style interiors.
