Tall Antique Indian Carved Corbel

Antique Teak Corbel on Stand

This antique corbel was originally part of an architectural structure in Rajasthan, carved to support projecting roofs and balconies on haveli homes. Hand carved from solid teak, the form features a flowing peacock and floral motif worked directly into the wood by skilled artisans, where ornament and structure were closely connected.

The surface carries a naturally bleached finish shaped by age and exposure, revealing grain, tool marks, and softened edges. Cracks and blemishes remain visible, offering a clear record of the corbel’s original use rather than obscuring its history. Now mounted on a custom iron stand, the piece has been repurposed as a vertical sculptural object.

Natural and Thoughtful Design

Hand Carved Peacock Motif: A flowing peacock and floral design carved directly into solid teak.
Architectural Origin: Originally created as a functional support element rather than a decorative object.
Aged Surface Finish: A bleached patina highlights the wood grain and natural wear earned over time.

Comfort and Everyday Function

Freestanding Display: Mounted on an iron stand for stable placement on consoles, shelves, or sideboards.
Sculptural Presence: Reads as a vertical object with depth and dimension, not a flat wall piece.
Flexible Placement: Works as a focal point on its own or layered among collected objects.

Quality and Craftsmanship

Solid Antique Teak: Dense hardwood selected for strength and longevity.
Artisan Carved Details: Each line and contour shaped by hand using traditional tools.
One of a Kind Archive Piece: This corbel is singular and will not be restocked once placed.
