Corbelling has been used in many different ways over the centuries. We use corbels and capping’s these days mainly for the support of arches.

They are also used for supporting mantels around fireplaces and shelving.

There have been hundreds of designs used in Australia over the years and we are reproducing these as they become available.

Externally, corbels are used as support for balconies and parapets as in the below image.

We use only the best materials to produce our traditionally handmade corbels and capping’s, and we take great pride in the techniques we use in the manufacturing process, which makes our products strong and manageable.
