A handrail system for suspending a handrail spaced from a supporting structure such as a wall with internal clamping brackets providing a trim appearance. The handrail system includes an elongated generally cylindrical rail body having a tubular wall of generally uniform wall thickness surrounding a hollow interior region. Slots are formed in the tubular wall along a line parallel with the rail axis. A rail support assembly connects each slot to the supporting structure. Each rail support structure includes a pair of similar stamped and formed metal brackets. Each bracket includes a flat body and an arm of reduced size extending from the body at an angle and defining a pair of rail engaging shoulders on the body. The arms are inserted through a slot into generally side-by-side relation within the hollow interior region with the shoulders extending beyond the slots. A threaded fastener engages the support structure and the brackets for clamping the bodies together and separating the arms to clamp the interior of the rail and hold the rail against the shoulders.
