A salvaged-look corbel in chippy white, topped with a timber ledge for one quiet object.
Viviane is a corbel wall shelf, a moulded acanthus-and-shell bracket in cast magnesia composite with a fir timber ledge on top. The corbel is finished in a chippy distressed white that has worn back to a sandy base, so it reads like a piece of old architectural salvage pulled from a French villa. The shape scrolls down from a wide top to a shell at the foot.
Fix it to the wall and use the ledge for a single considered object, a small bird, a candle, a short stack of books, or a tiny vase. It works on its own as a sculptural bracket, in a pair either side of a doorway or mirror, or in a row down a hallway. The timber top gives a flat surface against all that scrollwork.

How to style it
Viviane wants one or two pieces, not a crowd. A few ways:
Set a single bird, candle or small vase on the ledge and let the corbel be the feature near your other shelves and corbels
Hang a pair either side of a mirror or doorway for symmetry
Run a few down a hallway as little display brackets
Pair it with a wall piece above for a layered vignette
Stylist's Tip
Keep the styling sparse. One pale object against the white scrollwork says more than a cluster. The corbel is the hero, the shelf is just its stage.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the moulded detail. Keep Viviane indoors and out of damp. You will need screws and wall plugs suited to your wall type to hang it, ideally fixed into a stud or solid anchor.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it hang?
It mounts to the wall through the back of the corbel. Use screws and wall plugs suited to your wall, fixing into a stud or solid anchor where you can.
Is it carved timber?
The ledge is fir timber. The corbel is cast magnesia composite, moulded in a carved acanthus design and finished by hand, so it has the look of an old carved bracket.
What can I put on it?
It is made as a decorative display ledge for light pieces like a small vase, candle or ornament. Keep the load modest rather than stacking it.
Can I buy two for a pair?
Yes, many people use them in twos either side of a mirror or door. Each is sold individually.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, not identical. The distressed white is finished by hand, so the wear and the sandy base showing through vary a little from piece to piece.
Because Viviane is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, paint wear and grain are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I was scared to open my parcel due to past experience with buying on line with less than perfect purchases.
This parcel, from the packaging to the presentation has been more than expected.
Thank you very much.

My recent purchases look amazing in my garden… my delivery arrived promptly and the communication from Chateau was explanatory as to where and what was happening. I liked the follow up emails … thanks
I am so glad I bought these beautiful Dragonflies! I only have a small front verandah, but I wanted to place them out here. Dragonflies, are my spirit animals.
I bought special hooks to place on the window so I could hang them. I placed them behind my buddha, and I feel they look very decorative and effective.
I lurve the Rocco French Provincial Lidded Canister. It's just gorgeous! My pics are not its final destination or styling. I added these very large hydrangeas so you can see how big it is and how much it can hold. The product is high quality and stands on its own regardless of how you choose to style it. I adore the antique gold finish and will be buying other products. Communication about my purchase and delivery was great, and all products were packed well. Thankfully, I'm in a 2-bedroom apartment; otherwise, I'd need a VIP card.
I love my new products and will be purchasing more. They are particularly nice next to my ginger jars, but I'm testing out places for them before I decide whether I will style them with or without a floral arrangement and where they'll be placed. This is a great quality product and the size I wanted (fairly large). The delivery was prompt; communication was great about what was happening and when, and the products arrived safely and without damage, as they were packaged appropriately. I was so happy, I wrote to the team straight away to say thanks.
I enjoyed reading the Chateau Styling Guide very much. I appreciate the collection of beautiful pieces Lucie has made available to her clients. And I agree with the idea that one should never ‘rush’ to complete a room or your home. It is so satisfying to finally find that one special piece you know will add to the look of your home. Thank you so much for this booklet. It will be a great resource to refer to.
