Once part of the supporting structure of a haveli (merchant’s mansion), this corbel would have adorned an exterior or interior beam, adding both decorative richness and cultural meaning to the building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carving has weathered beautifully over time, with the teak’s surface developing deep, tactile fissures and a naturally aged patina. Despite its erosion, the forms of the elephant’s curling trunk and the peacock’s feathered body remain clearly recognisable, giving the piece a powerful, almost totemic presence. Now mounted on a custom iron stand, it displays as a dramatic sculptural object, perfect for collectors of folk art, architectural salvage or South Asian craft traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gujarat, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved teak mounted on an iron stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stylised elephant and peacock motif; deeply weathered surface; architectural corbel from a haveli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface erosion and fissures consistent with age and long exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W15 x D20 x H22 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56300347818367,"sku":"A03292","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Antique_Indian_Carved_Teak_Elephant_Peacock_Corbel_Indigo_Antiques_A03292.jpg?v=1764760337","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/antique-indian-carved-teak-elephant-peacock-corbel","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
