Product Overview
The 4 Craft Antique Style Corner Feet are a premium choice for any crafter or DIY enthusiast looking to add elegance and protection to their handmade creations. With their classic bronze patina and ornate Victorian flair, they’re not just decorative—they also elevate your pieces off surfaces to protect corners from wear and moisture. Each leg is made from durable alloy and shaped to cradle and secure corners of boxes, small chests, or even upcycled furniture.
Design & Styling Details
Timeless Vintage Appeal
Whether you’re building a keepsake box, restoring a wooden jewellery chest, or adding flair to a miniature side table, these antique-style feet infuse history and beauty into every project. The scrollwork design mimics classical Victorian metalwork and adds a handcrafted look.
Bronze Finish for Authentic Character
Each foot is finished in an aged bronze tone that blends beautifully with wood tones, distressed paint finishes, or darker interior hardware. These aren’t shiny, modern chrome accents—they’re rich, textured, and soulful.

How to Install Your Corner Feet
You don’t need to be a pro to get a perfect finish.

Drill (optional for pilot holes)
Steps:
-
Place the foot on the corner and mark your screw holes.

Materials & Durability
Each foot is cast from solid zinc alloy—a material chosen for its stability, resistance to rust, and ability to hold fine detail. The bronze finish is applied with a patina-style process that ensures every set has subtle variations, giving them a hand-aged appearance.

These are designed for indoor use, but can be used outdoors if sealed with clear lacquer.
