bracket/corbel/console:
a projection from the face of a wall,
especially one used to support a cornice
or other architectural element.
brackets
The decorated ends of beams are probably the
original models for the console. Early examples
of this element can be found in the architecture
of Indian, Chinese and Assyrian origins. The Sshaped double volute, with a large and a small
spiral, is the standard form. When it is used as a
balcony support, or as a modillion supporting
the corona of a cornice, it is recumbent; when
supporting the cornices of windows and doors,
its attitude is erect. Volute consoles are found
only sporadically in the Greek style, and it was
really the Romans who were the first to make
extensive use of this form.
support the upper projection of the cornice, in
addition to being found in the corners of doors
between the jamb and the lintel.
During the Romanesque period (11th-13th century),
coarse copies of Greek and Roman examples
were adopted, along with newly invented styles
more in keeping with the heavily arched and
ornamented architecture of the time. It is at this
point that we find the modillion, an ornamental
block or horizontal bracket that was used to
Classic Mouldings’ collection of corbels range from
regulation Roman right through to minimalist,
making stops at Rococo, Empire and the Belle
Époque on the way. Our corbels may be used in a
classical manner, or placed in unorthodox positions
to striking effect.
The Renaissance reworked the Doric, Ionic and
Corinthian capitals for their own use; the
Baroque added the triglyph as a viable motif.
The Rococo corbel sported shell shapes and
unsymmetrical scrolls.
Contemporary designs have essentially not added
anything new to the corbel except for the idea that
it can be used for simple display, and not just for
the ornamental support of architectural members.

Corbels / Brackets
Corbels should be applied to wall and ceiling surfaces
using Durabond 90™, or an equivalent plaster glue.
Corbels may be pre-drilled in order to sink a screw
into the piece. This secures it to the wall during the
drying period. The screw head may then be covered
neatly with additional plaster compound. Corbels will not
structurally support weight-bearing loads, including
shelving. When the corbel is being poured, a metal “L”
bracket may be added by special order. This will provide
support for shelving. Brackets supporting glass should be
filled and finished on top. This is a special order.

casings:
a framework, as about a door or window.
casings
Casings may be architectural (unfigured), reeded,
or may have motifs such as the guilloche, lamb’s
tongue, egg and dart, or pearls. Casings may
finish in decorative corner blocks at the top,
and plinth blocks at the baseboard. There are
straight casings, or casings that are stepped (or
“eared”), and held by a keystone centred at the
top of the doorway.

overdoor:
header placed over a door or over an opening of
a passage, based originally on an interpretation of
the classical entablature with an architrave, frieze
and cornice; a decorated lintel extending from one
pilaster to another, bridging the head of an opening.
ov e r d o o r s
Overdoors offer architectural emphasis for
entrances to principal rooms. An overdoor may
be as simple as an architectural cornice with a
return to the wall, or be elaborated into a broken
pediment framing an urn. It may be used in conjunction with pilasters or brackets, and may be
constructed to accommodate a figured frieze, a
transom light or a painting. An overdoor sits on
top of the door casing like an elegant crown.

chair rail:
a wall moulding that tops the dado and prevents
chairs pushed against the wall from damaging the
surface; also called a dado rail.
chair rails
As Roman interpretation of the Classical Orders
slowly seeped into the far corners of the Empire,
the classical column was used as a distillation of
perfect proportion, and was echoed in every
aspect of architecture and decoration. The top of
the column plinth became a chair rail by the
early 1600s, and was used to cap the paneling
that made up the dado — with the dado itself
meant to represent the body of the plinth.
