Corbels
have been used like brackets for thousands of years to support
projecting walls. Today, corbels are used to support ceilings,
beams, arches, fireplace mantels, and shelving. In some cases,
corbels are used for purely decorative purposes. Corbels can
enhance the beauty of your home’s interior.
Corbels are available in many designs. You can choose to
bring in corbels using stylized acanthus leaves for decoration,
a practice that dates back to ancient Greece. If you love
the ocean, you can find corbels with wave or shell decorations.
Are you a wine aficionado? There are grape corbels that might
tickle your fancy.
Corbels are available in several sizes. This allows you
to use the same corbel design throughout a room or throughout
your home, should you choose. You will have many design advantages
with a choice of sizes.
Corbels are made from select hardwoods. Wood has a warmth
that is very hard to duplicate, particularly if you are planning
on staining your corbels. Corbels are sold ready to be painted
or stained, and then installed.
Enjoy your corbels. They will make a beautiful addition
to your home’s interior design.
