About the Item
Recently salvaged from an important French building in the Lyon area, this pair of balcony corbels are from the Napoleon III period (sometimes called Second Empire style). Each corbel was hand-carved in pierre de villebois stone, which is a very hard limestone used quite frequently in large-scale construction in this area. They are perfect for creating an imposing console table with the top of your choice: stone, wood, marble or glass.
A corbel is an architectural S-shaped bracket that is affixed to the side of a building, designed to support weight from underneath, in this case a balcony. Corbels are typically placed high off the ground, allowing the carved details to be seen from far off. Both corbels have been hand-carved with a pair of distinct volutes on the facing, with the top scroll extending outwards farther than the lower. A principle of Napoleon III architecture was to leave no space bare: the scrolls are connected by sinuous carved molding that mirrors the thin ogee molding of the top frieze.
The gray-colored corbels have developed a lovely warm cream patina from years of exposure to the elements. They could once again be installed architecturally or repurposed into bases for a fascinating console table.
