Crouching lion sitting atop a round ball, hand-carved oak wooden finial, decorative cap for a grand staircase newel post. Underside of it's base shows a clean, round hole in the center to securely anchor into a larger structure like a newel post or a furniture frame.
This finial stands out as a high-quality piece of late the 19th-century.
One could use this beautiful piece as a standalone sculptural object on a desk, architectural bookcase shelf, or give the lion back its original purpose, acting as a dignified guardian on a newel post at the base of a grand staircase.
