About the Item

Dating from the 1870s, these decorative antique corbel figures were once used to embellish a ceiling, perhaps of a prestigious Victorian banqueting hall. Due to their age, they are today more suited to interior decoration as objects of interest steeped in history for a display cabinet or live-in museum. Each has a distinctly mock medieval look, depicting a moulded figure sat cross-legged and wearing a Tudor style cap. One sits in a contemplating position, resting on their right arm and holding what appears to be a mallet in their left hand. The other wears a large, embellished collar and holds what looks like a paint palette or book in their left hand. There are various chips, losses and a distressed paint finish that tell the story of these charmingly decorative architectural antiques. We are also selling a single figure, sourced from the same location; please enquire for more details.

Set of 2 Ornate Terracotta Corbels Mounted on Stands

Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire

Though corbels are conventionally used as an architectural fixture, this pair of antique corbels are too beautiful to simply sit on a wall or ceiling. Instead, they have been repurposed as sculpture, brought to life on bespoke steel stands to allow the intricacy of their design to be enjoyed and observed up close on a table, shelf or column. Dating from the late 19th century, these large corbels...
