The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Corbels are structural or decorative brackets protruding from a wall, historically designed to support heavy architectural elements such as mantels, balconies, or roof beams. In 18th-century France, plaster and stone corbels evolved from functional load-bearing supports into elaborate decorative features embellished with classical scrollwork and foliate carvings.

Antique French corbels were typically cast using dense gypsum plaster, often reinforced internally with hemp fibres or timber armatures for added structural stability. The exterior surfaces were frequently finished with coats of gesso, tempera, or milk paint to simulate carved stone or limestone.

Authentic 18th-century plaster corbels demonstrate surface wear, chipping, and layered historic paint finishes consistent with age. Look for evidence of hand-carved finishing details, interior organic binding materials, and structural weight that reflects traditional plaster composition rather than modern lightweight polymers.

Large corbels can be mounted on a wall as structural supports for a fireplace mantel shelf or a console tabletop. Alternatively, displaying them as standalone sculptural objects on a sideboard or flanking a doorway adds classical architectural interest to modern living spaces.

Dust the plaster surface gently using a soft, dry brush or a vacuum cleaner equipped with a brush attachment. Avoid applying water, chemical cleaners, or liquid polishes, as moisture can soften original plaster and dissolve historical painted patinas.
