More about Grape Resin Corbels...
Plant life in general provides a corbel craftsman with an assortment of rich resources on which to draw. Floral patterns are found in a wide variety of architectural trim including crown moulding, chair rails, pilasters, pediments, crossheads and other architectural components that in earlier generations were used as ornamental platforms. Grape corbels are an example of a specific product using plant life as a decorative theme – a theme that in fact does go back to the ancient Greek city states and probably was an acknowledgement of the wine that was such an important product of this particular fruit.
At ArchitecturalDepot.com, our resin corbels can be found in a variety of these traditional decorative designs. These designs include the use of oak leaf and acanthus leaf arrays, a number of scrolling styles and, in a nod to the God Bacchus, the carved fruit and leaves found on grape corbels.
