Questions About Chinese Corbels
  • What is the purpose of the corbel?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A corbel is a bracket that is designed to support an overhang. Typically it’s used in architecture to support a roof that sticks out beyond the outer walls of the building. Many corbels today are simply decorative, but they were originally designed to support weight. Shop a collection of corbels from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • What is the difference between a bracket and a corbel?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The difference between a bracket and corbels is the width - corbels are usually thicker than brackets. The difference between a bracket and corbels is the width - corbels are usually thicker than brackets. Corbels are also a type of bracket — both corbels and brackets support some weight. However, corbels tend to have a decorative appearance as compared to brackets.
  • Where should corbels be placed?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Corbels should be placed every 3 to 6 inches beneath a mantle or shelf to provide adequate support. Specific spacing depends on the size and weight of the shelf and the size and weight of the corbels. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of corbels.
