King Arthur presides from the center of this large, Nineteenth Century hand-carved walnut corbel shelf made in the Black Forest of Switzerland. Foliate carvings and botanical "crockets" complete the sculpting. The large (14" x 9") shelf easily holds a sizable vase. It would also make a handsome and practical "entry shelf" near a doorway—a place to keep one's keys, wallets and other items needed for a quick getaway. (18" x 14" x 9") sc13179f
