Imported Grape Corbel Series
A corbel is a stone or wood bracket projecting from a wall or corner to support a beam and is often associated with a raven’s beak, because of its appearance. Besides wood or stone, a corbel can be made out of plaster or marble. Some stores often sell reproduction corbels made out of polymer, a plastic. Corbels can be found on the face of buildings, in homes, under cabinets, tables or around a fireplace mantel.
Wooden corbels are hand-crafted from hardwoods, such as Walnut or Cherry and depending on your individual tastes, can be simple and elegant or big and elaborate.
The Grape Series Wooden corbels remind you of the vineyards in picturesque Italy or even warm and sunny California. The grape design is also reminiscent of ancient Rome, in the times of King Henry and Augustus Caesar. Beautifully crafted, the Grape Series Wooden corbels have a design of a bundle of grapes, with decorative leaves on the face and sides of the corbel. On the bottom face of the corbel is another leaf design that finishes the style. On the side is also a round scroll with top and bottom curled loops.
The Grape Series Wooden Corbels come in several sizes to fit your needs and stunning woods, including Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Mahogany, Poplar, Pine, Red Oak and Alder and are ready to stain.
Corbels were first used in the Mediterranean era, where foliage or heads were used and first started out small and simple. As time passed, in the Early English period, wooden corbels became more fancy and larger, such as the corbels on the Westminster Chapel of St. Blaise.
Flattering to interiors and exteriors alike, these corbels seem perfectly suited to adorn the trellis or entryway to the backyard or garden, in harmony with nature by which they were inspired. Also an ideal choice for the dining room or bar, and a highly popular option for the finest kitchens.
Adding the Grape Series Wooden corbels to your home or building will add a unique beauty that will be talked about for many years to come.
