 Craftsman Series Wooden Blocks and Corbels:
. . . a history of elegant design
Wood-corbels have been an essential element of architecture throughout
many centuries. These modest but sturdy architectural works provide
backing to extruding surfaces, which enables them to bear heavy weight.
In essence, corbels are identified by their "beak like" form. Originally
manufactured from stone or concrete, the Victorian-Era introduced the
idea of wooden-corbels. Since wood-corbels could be produced in smaller
dimensions than the heavier stone corbels, it permitted the utilization
of corbels to go beyond cathedrals and libraries and move into less
majestic type environments such as homes and smaller buildings.
Initially corbels were first and foremost used for only practical
purposes. Even though they were created in a decorative manner, they
were created out of necessity. With the invention of wooden-corbels,
designs became more prominent instead of functional. Wood-corbels can be
found with lifelike characters like horses, angels, fruit, and carved
leafs. Included in the amalgamation of decorative corbels are
metal-corbels. With lustrous designs and exclusive shapes, metal-corbels
offer an ornamental affect perfectly matched to accentuate granite,
concrete, stone, and various kinds of wood.
As far as ornamental wood-brackets or corbels, one of the broadest
varieties is the Greco Roman. Even though particular designs will vary
somewhat, the identical fundamental scrolling model from the widest
element to the smallest, connects the many diverse motifs. Whether the
decorative details are basket weaves or leaf detail, the basic shape
keeps every unique corbel with an identifiable appearance, maintaining
the beauty and exclusivity that corbels have handed down throughout
decorative history. With conspicuously contemporary selections like the
Chesapeake-corbels, and turn-of-the-century designs including the
Traditional-Bracket, there are plenty of models to choose from. There is
also a broad range of heavier or lighter grains to select from such as
maple or oak.
Another unique decorative piece that has become more prevalent in modern
day home decorating is wood-ceiling medallions. Wood-ceiling medallions
are installed in the middle of a
 ceiling over a ceiling fan, lamp, or
chandelier. In the past, ceiling-medallions were only carved from wood,
but now they can be found in various inexpensive, lightweight materials
made of molded resin or urethane. Ceiling-medallions can be similar in
detail like wooden-corbels, and vary in style and depth.
