CORBEL Meaning and Definition

1. A corbel refers to a structural or decorative element that protrudes from a wall, often designed in a triangular or rectangular shape, and serves to support or carry the weight of an overlying load. It is typically made of stone, wood, or masonry, and is commonly seen in architectural structures such as buildings, bridges, or fortifications. The term "corbel" can also be used to describe the technique of construction employed to create this projection.

   In architectural context, corbels are strategically placed at regular intervals along a wall to distribute the weight of an upper section, such as a cornice, balcony, or overhanging roof. This element helps to relieve the stress on load-bearing walls by transferring the downward force to the ground through a stepped or layered arrangement.

   Apart from their functional purpose, corbels are often meticulously carved or adorned with ornate designs, reflecting the artistic and aesthetic significance embraced by various historical periods and architectural styles. Some corbels showcase exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details, showcasing the creativity of the artisans. They can be found in various shapes and sizes, ranging from simple and plain to highly elaborate and decorative, allowing architects and designers to incorporate versatility and visual interest into their creations.

   Overall, corbels serve an essential role in architecture by providing structural support while also adding visual appeal to buildings, merging functionality and artistry into one design element.

2. • A piece of stone, wood, or iron projecting from a wall for giving support to any mass, sometimes carved as a head or in the form of a basket; a niche in a wall; the base of a Corinthian column, so called from its resemblance to a basket.

   • To support on corbels; to furnish with corbels.

Etymology of CORBEL

The word "corbel" comes from the French word "corbeau", which means "raven". This term was originally derived from the Latin word "corvus", which also means "raven". The association between ravens and corbels is due to the similarity in shape between the corbelled supports and a raven's beak or neck. In architectural terms, a corbel is a structure projecting from a wall or a pillar to support a load above it. The use of corbels dates back to ancient civilizations and has been employed in various architectural styles throughout history.
