I couldn’t be more excited to come across these matching salvaged corbels the other day while antiquing. They were tucked back in a forgotten corner of the store waiting for me to find them.
I’ve been searching for a few years to find identical ones to use as book ends.
These pieces couldn’t be more perfect! They both stand about 12” high, 7” wide and 6” deep. I am in love with the chippy paint unveiling the different once loved paint colors underneath one another…
Can you believe I picked this pair with so much character up for $50.
Before leaving I asked about the history of these corbels. The store owner said they came off of an old shed behind the antique stores in Snohomish before tearing it down…

They are indeed, pure perfection. The patina is amazing, and the color too, wonderful find.
I have to say, I'm sick with envy! I have been looking FOREVER for the same matching pair. I can usually only find one or they are broken. You are a lucky gal...these are gorgeous with the chippy paint and the color is fabulous. :)
Oh my, those are tremendous! What a sensational find, lucky you!
Happy I found your blog via, Olive Out's blog!
Have a great day,

I love those! The colors are just wonderful, and I have a thing for chippy paint too. Looks like you found a real treasure!
Those are fantastic! The color is great. I have a pair I dragged back from an antique market in Mt. Dora. I love them. Too big for bookends though :) Yours are a perfect size.
oh, I am in LovE!!!!
have a pair fo those myself but i am loving the color of yours....that chippy turquoise is gorgeous! love the coverless books between them ;)
Fantastic finds they are gorgeous i love the aqua colour
I think it must have been a pretty fancy shed to have corbels. I know that my shed is plain with no beautiful corbels. I love the color!
Oh wow! Those are great finds dear friend! Love the story behind it too. Congrats for finding them.

I love architectural details, Tracie, and everything about yours is spectacular - shape, color(s), chippiness! Fifty dollars was a great price.
