Antique Painted Stone Blue Peacock Corbel

A fragment of history carved from stone, this architectural bracket depicts the graceful curve of a Peacock, a bird that symbolizes beauty and immortality in Indian culture. Originally, this piece would have served as a decorative corbel on a doorframe or window niche in a traditional home. What makes this piece truly special is the survival of its original blue polychrome finish. The paint has weathered over decades to reveal the raw stone beneath, creating a "chippy" texture that feels excavated and precious. Lay it flat on a coffee table as a tactile object. It brings a touch of "Modern Farmhouse" or boho charm. It also looks fantastic mounted as wall art. • **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.
