Originally an architectural for the roof of a Belgian building, this granite finial dates to the 1700s. The foliate finial has deep carvings, making it presentable from all sides. Large, curled leaves arise from a square block, forming an open leaf cup around the central stamen. Traces of white accents can be seen throughout the dark gray stone, giving additional character to the 300-year-old finial. Mounted more recently to a light brown wooden plinth with several layers of thick molding, our Belgian roof finial can be displayed on a center table, console, or mantel.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Commensurate loss to the top of the finial, with minor rubs and fleabites elsewhere. Presence of some light paint stains on one side. The finial was mounted to a wooden plinth more recently, allowing it to function as a decorative table element.
