Art Nouveau Corbel

Description

Art Nouveau Corbel

Art Nouveau is an ornamental style of art characterized by its use of long, sinuous, organic line.  In its heyday, between about 1890 to 1910 it was often employed in architecture, interior design, jewellery and illustration and was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative historicism that dominated much of 19th-century art and design.

In architecture a corbel is a stone or wood projection jutting out from a wall to support a weight. In houses and other structures corbels would often be carved in intriguing forms such as this striking Art Nouveau Corbel design.
