Throughout history, decorative finials were placed atop virtually every type of building rooftop imaginable. Although typically adorning the peak of a roof, finials are also known to be found at the corners of a building or structure, and incorporated into the gutter system such as this one once was.
Captivated by its whimsical form, we have attached this architectural fragment to a custom reclaimed wood stand, thus creating a one-of-a-kind focal piece to be displayed either in the garden or inside the home.
Found in Hungary, 19th century
Finial has been fitted onto a (removable) custom stand constructed of wood salvaged from a local McKinney historic building
Remnants of the original decorative green and blue paint are visible
Openings are wide enough to accommodate a small plant
Wear consistent with age, removal from roof, and exposure to the elements over time
Overall dimensions approximately 19 7/8” L x 13” W x 31 1/2” H
Zinc finial measures approximately 16 3/4” L x 8” W x 26 1/4” H
Wooden base measures 19 7/8” L x 13” W x 5 1/4” H
