What’s the difference between corbels and brackets?
Both corbels and wood brackets are support pieces that can carry weight. The force that holds the wood brackets or corbel in place counteracts the force that is applied on top of the brackets preventing an overturn when the load is applied to the top. Corbels and bracket are architectural elements usually made from wood, stone, or metal that projects from the wall and overhangs to allow support of various items.
The main difference between a corbel and a bracket is that brackets are thinner than corbels. Corbels tend to be chunkier where the depth and width are around the same size. Most wood brackets tend to be much deeper than wide.
For example, the large Chicago bracket the depth of the bracket of 7-3/4 inch is more than three times its width of just 2-1/2 inches. Comparing it to Large fluted Mission corbels that measure 7-1/2 inches in depth and 7 inches in width. Both are great for architectural accents and are structurally sound to support countertops and wide shelves where greater depth is required. The brackets vary in design from sleek and understated (Newark wood bracket) to beautifully elaborate (Montclair hood brackets or Marietta wood brackets)
