Ornate Brackets

Ornate Architectural Brackets

The bracket or corbel is one of the most widely used individual architectural features. As purely decorative elements, brackets comfortably bear a heavy burden of architectural ornamentation.

The use of brackets on door surrounds has been a consistent classical standard since first introduced in early Greek temples. They were used functionally to support the projecting cornice over entranceways.

Always a popular feature for fireplaces, arches, and kitchen cabinets, as a divider between two rooms, or as a keystone to be used in a purely decorative role.
