Corner Brackets for a Traditional Turn-of-the-Century Style

Decorative wooden corner brackets with fretwork and carved details are well suited for creating a classic turn-of-the-century character. Our corner brackets are mounted on pillars and corner posts and help recreate the architectural expression commonly found in Swedish buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period that overlaps with the Victorian era.

Historically, corner brackets were used on cottages, merchant villas, and summer houses from the mid-1800s onwards. They were a common feature on porches, verandas, entrance porches, glazed verandas, and vestibules, where they added structure, detail, and visible craftsmanship in wood. Similar detailing can also be found in Victorian-era houses with traditional wooden architecture.

Wooden Brackets as a Versatile Traditional Building Detail

Wooden brackets are both functional and decorative elements in traditional architecture. They can be used as wall brackets, shelf brackets, or as decorative detailing on walls and facade. Thinner designs may also be used indoors as ornamental ceiling details in a classic and restrained style, typical of Swedish and Scandinavian interiors from the turn of the century.

Brackets can also be incorporated into custom-built interior solutions, such as traditional washstands or drying racks, where visible wooden details form part of the overall architectural expression.
