FAQs

Historically, corbels served as structural masonry projections supporting weight above, such as arches or parapets. In Neoclassical and Classical Revival design, decorative plaster versions were created as non-structural ornamental brackets to display sculpture, support mantels, or add classical symmetry to interior architecture.

Plaster corbels are traditionally produced by pouring gypsum plaster into flexible rubber or gelatine moulds, often reinforced with fibrous materials like hessian for structural integrity. Once set, the intricate details are hand-finished to ensure sharp relief on elements such as foliage, masks, and geometric borders.

Authentic plaster corbels often exhibit age-related features such as subtle surface craquelure, seam marks from original multi-piece moulds, and multi-layered patina. Examining the back reveals fibrous reinforcement materials and manual plaster hand-trowelling typical of traditional plaster workshops.

Architectural corbels can be mounted directly on wall spaces to frame a doorway, flank a mirror, or support a floating mantle shelf. They also function well as standalone sculptural wall art above sideboards or within hallway alcoves.

Plaster should be dusted regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or a low-powered vacuum cleaner with a soft attachment. Avoid liquid cleaners or damp cloths on unsealed plaster, as moisture can dissolve or discolour the porous surface.
