Architectural Elegance & Artisan Heritage

Hand-carved from solid teakwood, prized for its strength, dense grain, and natural durability, this piece represents the enduring traditions of Indian temple and haveli architecture. Corbels like this were historically used to support balconies, roof overhangs, and porticos, while also serving as symbolic elements that conveyed prosperity, divine protection, and cultural status.

Featuring floral rosettes, scrollwork, and curvilinear carvings, this salvaged corbel is a work of art in its own right. Its sculptural form and deep relief detailing make it ideal as a wall-mounted décor feature, functional shelf support, or a statement display piece in vintage, rustic, or eclectic interiors.
