Vintage Handcrafted Indian Teakwood Wall Corbel | Architectural Salvage | Traditional Carved Wooden Décor

Add character, history, and timeless design to your interiors with this vintage handcrafted teakwood wall corbel, a rare architectural salvage fragment from early 20th-century India. Rich in cultural symbolism and detailed craftsmanship, this corbel is not just a decorative piece—it’s an authentic part of India’s heritage architecture, once supporting balconies and temple overhangs in havelis and sacred spaces.

Architectural Elegance & Artisan Heritage

Carved from solid Indian teakwood, prized for its strength, warm grain, and durability, this wall corbel showcases traditional Indian scrollwork, floral motifs, and geometric detailing. Each carving reflects the mastery of artisans who worked on temples, havelis, and royal residences across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu.

Originally used as a structural and ornamental bracket, the corbel symbolised prosperity, divine protection, and status in Indian households. Today, it has been reimagined as a wall-mounted décor accent, perfect for interiors that celebrate bohemian, rustic, Indo-colonial, or heritage-inspired design.
