Hi! Beautiful work! Are there only the two visible, ornamental brackets holding up the marble shelf at either end? Thanks!

That's correct, two brackets hold the shelf up; they provide support and are not solely ornamental. Do make sure that any brackets you consider using are suitable for the load imposed by the shelf and that the fixings and wall are suitably specified...Good luck with your project, Kind Regards, Guy

Is this bracket strong enough?
Q

Triangle shapes are actually very strong and this shape would be much stronger than the floating shelf option mentioned and although I can’t see it I suspect there is a third screw hole at the bottom. I also think you need someone who knows - to have a look as you can’t really gauge the size on a picture and how big a stew they could accommodate. One solution might be to further bolster the shelf by securing a baton to the wall then cutting a baton sized wedge out of the bottom of the back of the shelf and then resting the shelf on the baton for additional strength to the brackets.

I assume you like the central groove and so you might search for stacked corbels which seems to bring up lots of availability from America. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOLID-AMERICAN-OAK-CORBEL-SET-triple-stacked-MANTEL-BRACKET-CORBELS-PAIR/162521706249?hash=item25d70c6f09:m:mzfjPVlQLViCcKZsbBRU9-w I suspect that actually your image shows two shelf brackets that have been put together for extra strength https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wooden-Corbels-Brackets-shelf-brackets/112639077722?hash=item1a39cfed5a:g:BIYAAOSwpHFZadrL

Floating shelves
Q

I've tried several different types of floating shelves and never found them sufficiently robust. They always seem to slope down at the front and I haven't even tried to put anything on them as heavy as a book. It may be that I'm not paying enough for them, I have bought them from the various retailers such as B&Q and homebase. Instead of floating shelves, I now use clamp support brackets which hold the shelf firmly but are more discrete than under-shelf brackets.

Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments. Perhaps the word refurbishment is more fitting than renovation :) A plant in the empty space is worth a thought - thanks. The photo below is how the kitchen was left when we moved in... I won't share photos of the rooms...let's just say a real deep clean was needed!
