Architecture. A projection of stone, brick, timber, iron, or other constructional material, jutting out from (not merely attached to) the face of a wall, to support a superincumbent weight.As defined by the French architects, a corbel has parallel sides perpendicular to the surface of the wall, and must project farther than its own height. (Cf. console n.)Some English writers use the term more loosely, so as to include e.g. the tapering projection sustaining the ribs of a vault called by the French culot or cul de lampe, and specially excluded by Viollet-le-Duc and Bosc from their definition of corbeau.In English, the term appears to have been purely technical, until caught up by Sir Walter Scott; his ‘corbels carved grotesque and grim’ have taken hold of the popular fancy, and associated the word with the notion of grotesque ornamentation; but a corbel is not an ornament, nor does ornamentation enter into its essential character.
