Beautifully cast with scrolling foliate decoration and substantial weight, these pieces retain their original untouched bronze patina acquired over many decades. I have intentionally left the rich aged finish intact, allowing the character and history of the bronze to remain visible. Those who prefer a brighter appearance could easily polish them to a warm golden bronze, but they are offered in their original antique finish.

Sourced from a Paris flea market, they make an elegant finishing touch for antique, traditional, Gothic Revival, or European-inspired lamps.

Dimensions (each):
4"H overall (including finial base)
2"W
Standard 1/4-27 threaded finial fitting

Condition:
Very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear, oxidation, and surface patina consistent with age and original use. Newly fitted with standard brass finial bases and ready for installation. See less
