Long leaves rise from the base along the front scroll and finish in a rolled top, and the sides carry open leaf scrolls set against a flat backing panel. The piece stands on a stepped rectangular base. The surface has a warm brown finish with cream and gray highlights in the recesses, and a darker band around the base. It works well as a standalone sculptural piece on a mantel, shelf or sideboard, or as part of an architectural salvage display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBackground\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorbels have long been used as decorative supports under shelves, mantels and cornices, and scrolled acanthus designs like this one are a long-standing part of classical and Baroque Revival ornament. This piece appears to be cast from a mineral-based material such as plaster or a cement composition; the chipped corners show a pale, chalky core under the brown finish. The back has a large shaped recess that lightens the piece, and it is unmarked. It is solid and heavy for its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-owned with wear consistent with age and use. There are chips and losses to the base corners and edges, small chips and finish loss on the high points of the scrolls, and discoloration on the back and inside the recess. The relief detail remains crisp and there are no visible breaks or repairs. It is sold as a decorative piece and has not been tested for load-bearing use.
