A carved acanthus corbel with broad furled leaves and a warm timber shelf, classical architecture scaled for a small wall.
Rosalie is a wall-mounted corbel shelf with a carved magnesium oxide composite body and a solid fir wood top. The corbel reads as a Corinthian capital in miniature, with broad acanthus leaves curling outward and downward, finished in a soft distressed whitewash that wears back to a sandy undertone along the high points. The fir wood top is left in a warm natural finish for contrast against the white carving.
At 25.5 cm tall and 29.5 cm wide, Rosalie has a slightly broader top than her companion Marguerite, sized to hold a small vase, candle, framed photo, or a cherub from our sculpture collection. She works as a single architectural accent above a console, beside a doorway, or as one half of a pair flanking a mirror or piece of art.
Why we love it
◆Classical acanthus leaf carving, the broad symmetrical leaves read as Corinthian column capital, architectural rather than decorative
◆Two-tone material story, distressed whitewash on the MGO corbel paired with a warm fir wood top, the contrast gives the piece depth
◆Functional display shelf, the top platform is sized to hold a small vase, candle, framed photo, or sculpture
◆Pair with Marguerite, the matching scroll-rosette corbel for a contrasting wall pair, or pair two Rosalie together for a matched symmetrical display

How to style it
Rosalie's broader top platform suits a few different display approaches:
Mount her above a console or sideboard with a small vase of dried stems or a pillar candle on top
Pair Rosalie with Marguerite to flank a framed mirror or piece of artwork for an architectural pair with contrasting carving
Display a small cherub from our sculpture collection on top for a layered French country vignette
Use her in a hallway, entryway, or beside a doorway to anchor a small area of wall that would otherwise sit empty
Stylist's Tip
Rosalie's broader top platform handles a wider base object better than a tall narrow one. A small bowl, low candle, or framed photo sits well, where a tall slim vase risks looking stranded.
Care & Keeping
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush for the carved leaf detail. The magnesium oxide body is porous, so avoid wet cleaning, harsh chemicals, and prolonged damp. The fir wood top can be wiped with a barely damp cloth and dried immediately. Indoor use only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with wall fixings?
No, wall fixings are not supplied. Rosalie has a mounting point on the back of the corbel and needs a single appropriate wall fixing for your wall type (masonry, plasterboard with stud, etc). For plasterboard without a stud behind it, use a hollow wall anchor rated for at least 5 kg.
How much weight can the top hold?
The top shelf comfortably holds objects up to around 2 kg — small vases, candles, framed photos, sculptures, or styled clusters of dried stems. Avoid loading the top with heavier objects, as the load also transfers to the wall fixing.
What's the difference between Rosalie and Marguerite?
Both are corbel wall shelves with the same warm fir wood top and distressed whitewash MGO body, but the carving is different. Rosalie has broader, symmetrical acanthus leaves (Corinthian-style), while Marguerite has a central rosette flanked by tighter curling scrollwork. Rosalie's top is also slightly wider, suiting a wider base object. The two work beautifully as a contrasting pair.
Can I buy a pair?
Yes. This listing is for one corbel shelf. To pair, simply add two to your cart. The two pieces are cast from the same mould so they're identical rather than mirrored, which suits a symmetrical flanking display.
What style of decor does she suit?
French Provincial, French country, English country, traditional and architectural interiors. The classical acanthus carving also lends well to neoclassical, Hamptons, and modern-vintage spaces where a single architectural accent is doing the heavy lifting.
Will every piece look exactly like the photos?
Rosalie is hand-finished, so the chip pattern, paint distribution, and timber grain vary slightly from piece to piece. That's part of the appeal and the reason she reads as aged architectural salvage rather than mass-produced.
Because Rosalie is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and timber grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
