Ekena Millwork Hollow Back Corbel – 3-1/2″W X 7-1/4″D X 11″H

A Ekena Millwork Hollow Back Corbel – 3-1/2″W X 7-1/4″D X 11″H refers to a specific type of corbel—a structural or decorative bracket typically made of stone, wood, or metal—used to support weight or as an ornament in architectural design. The “hollow back” description indicates that the corbel’s back or underside has a hollowed-out space or indentation.

This hollowed section in the corbel’s back serves a few potential purposes:

1. **Weight Reduction:** By having a hollow or concave back, the corbel becomes lighter while retaining its outward appearance. This can be advantageous when the corbel is used for decorative purposes but doesn’t need to support significant weight.

2. **Installation Flexibility:** The Ekena Millwork Hollow Back Corbel – 3-1/2″W X 7-1/4″D X 11″H may provide space for easier installation, such as accommodating wiring, piping, or fixtures behind the corbel without altering its appearance. It allows for a flusher fit against a wall or other surface.

3. **Adaptability for Specific Purposes:** The design could allow for custom modifications or fittings specific to certain architectural or structural needs.

Hollow back corbels, like other corbels, can be used in various architectural settings. They might be employed in supporting beams, shelves, cornices, or other structural elements. When used decoratively, the hollow back design can streamline installation while maintaining the ornate or traditional appearance associated with corbels.

They often come in a variety of materials, such as wood, stone, or composite materials, and can be found in different styles to suit various architectural aesthetics.
