About the Item

A magnificent pair of antique Moorish corbels, hand-carved in wood and richly polychromed. Their architectural design, with interlaced arches and geometric details, reflects Mudéjar influence and the artisanal mastery of North Africa or Andalusia. The original colors, in shades of blue, ochre, and green, retain an aged charm that enhances their authenticity. These pieces, possibly part of a decorative structure or architectural furnishings, are ideal as wall or sculptural elements. Perfect for adding history, exoticism, and traditional art to contemporary or eclectic interiors. An exceptional testament to the Islamic artistic legacy in wood carving.
