Decorating with classical matching statuary where the monumental statues, columns, corbels and all the decor matches in style, color and design. Some of the corbels we offer are highly detailed sculptures of angels, animals, and period specific pieces from the following eras: Roman, Victorian, Gothic, Medieval, and Greek.

The technique of corbelling, where rows of corbels deeply keyed and anchored inside a wall support a projecting wall, parapet, corner turrets or balconies have been used since the Neolithic times. Using decorative corbels is common in Medieval architecture and in the Scottish baronial style as well as in the Classical architectural vocabulary, such as the modillions of a Corinthian cornice and in ancient Chinese architecture. In the later periods the carved foliage and other ornaments used on corbels resemble those used in the capitals of columns. Many Medieval castles, Renaissance mansions palaces and Cathedrals are adorned with corbels that are elaborately decorated and designed to structurally support the architecture with impressive style and elegance. A corbel (or console) is essentially a small wall hanging with a built-in shelf on top, typically mounted on an interior wall and used as a bracket. Corbels are generally piece of stone or marble jutting out of a wall to carry any superincumbent weight.

Versatile and easy to install, corbels can be used as decorative features in hallways and rooms, to support mantels, shelves, or ceiling arches. Outside they provide interest supporting roof overhangs. Using corbels in your interior decor they can be used to support small decorative elements like plants, statues, candles family pictures or any collective art work you would like to proudly display. Corbels also provide support for shelves and kitchen counters, bathrooms and bedrooms. Two matching corbels provide the perfect supports for a mantle above a fireplace. Corbels spaced at consistent intervals create a sense of visual order on your wall. Corbels are typically placed on both sides of a door, or along the walls of your hallway where candles, or electric lights, can be decorated where additional light is needed. People often perceive each other by how they decorate their home or work space, in today's day and age the decorative aspects of your home serve as a barometer for people to see what kind of person you are.

Use of just one corbel is not uncommon at the end of a hall, or along a wall in your guest (or master) bathroom. When more than one or two corbels are used in a row its known as corbelling. When more than two corbels are arranged together its referred to as a corbel table, they can function like brackets by using two (or more) corbels with a board on top, or glass piece, or a shelf for books to be organized on your wall. Sculpted and/or carved corbels make affordable fireplace mantle support brackets for a simple fireplace shelf, a solid marble slab mantle top, or a glass mantle shelf piece.

Corbels may be used under kitchen cabinets, and other cabinetry around your house, to give the appearance of structural supports, yet truthfully serving as a decorative interior effect. In earlier times, corbels where used to support balconies, porches, and elaborate window frames. Nowadays, corbels are used as decorative enhancements to give your home the same ancient, or Medieval, architectural look from the past. In the process of church or Medieval castle construction, corbelling was primarily used for the upper levels of a castle and under corner turrets, when defending the castle objects could be thrown at the enemy, in between an opening in the corbels. In the Medieval era, corbels were designed to support stairways that protruded from the outside of castle walls. Since Neolithic/Medieval times, corbels have been used to support shelves and projecting walls (as in castle building), especially in Scottish, English, and on occasion, Chinese architecture.

Corbels that are built to be used architecturally are available upon request and can be cast in cement with iron rebar embedded inside each casting. The iron rebar can be made to stick out of the corbel so that you can incorporate the corbels easily into your wall and/or ceiling in a more structurally permanent basis - with the use of a masonry professional to install them, of course. Nowadays, from an architectural point of view, structural corbel vaulting is not so common, due to modern building materials being much lighter than the stone used in ancient times. This makes using corbels even more interesting, since it is less common in modern interior (and exterior) house designs. Being that most corbels are purely decorative, you can place them anywhere you like, as opposed to limited use as structurally supportive architectural pieces.

If you need exterior corbels we can upgrade the material used in the casting process to cement, hydrostone, fiberglass or natural carved marble or stone depending on your exact project requirements.
