Faux Post Bases

Add the look of structural support and handcrafted ironwork—without altering your build—with our Faux Post Bases. Designed for decorative use, these bases are the perfect finishing touch for cabinetry posts, island legs, range hoods, mantel supports, and other non-load-bearing applications.

What is a faux post base? A faux post base is exactly what it sounds like; you'll receive the uprights (also called ears or straps) that are visible on the post, but there will be no base plate, which would usually go under the post. This allows you to create the polished look of a post base on posts that are already installed.

Each piece is handcrafted from genuine iron and made to mimic the look of functional post brackets, complete with forged details and customizable fastener options. Whether you're going for a Tuscan, rustic, colonial, or industrial look, our faux bases offer timeless appeal and architectural depth with none of the installation headaches of true structural hardware.

Available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and finishes, these pieces allow you to elevate your space with the look of traditional iron hardware—no special framing or reinforcement required. Ideal for remodels, decorative trim-outs, or adding visual weight to millwork.

Like all our products, our faux post bases are proudly made in the USA and finished to order by skilled artisans using old-world techniques.
