A pair of antique architectural finials, hand-carved from solid sandstone and originating from france, circa late 19th century. Each finial retains beautiful traces of its original polychrome paint in tones of green, red, and ochre, creating a rich, naturally aged patina that speaks to its authenticity and long history of outdoor use.
these cone-shaped ornaments likely once adorned the tops of gate pillars or architectural columns on a french estate or manor wall. Their impressive weight and refined craftsmanship highlight the quality of traditional french stonemasonry from this period.
today, they make exceptional decorative pieces — equally striking in a garden setting, an entryway, or as sculptural interior accents.
