Victorian Period English 19th Century Copper Finial with Verdigris Patina

About the Item

An English Victorian period copper finial from the 19th century with verdigris patina. This English Victorian period copper finial from the 19th century captivates with its rich verdigris patina and subtle hints of turquoise that add a layer of depth to its already intriguing appearance. Crafted from copper, the finial’s beautifully aged surface tells a story of decades spent gracing the pinnacle of an architectural structure, where exposure to the elements has transformed its original sheen into a fascinating blend of colder tones. The finial's elegant, circular form showcases the craftsmanship of the Victorian era, with its simple lines and classic silhouette offering a timeless appeal. The circular base is rests on measures 6.5" of diameter. The verdigris patina, a result of natural oxidation over the years, not only enhances the finial’s aesthetic but also serves as a testament to its enduring quality and historical significance. In a contemporary home, this Victorian copper finial can be repurposed as a distinctive decorative object. Its rich patina and unique form make it an ideal conversation piece when placed atop a mantel, console table, or as part of a curated vignette in a living room or entryway. The finial's weathered appearance contrasts beautifully with modern interiors, providing a touch of rustic charm and a connection to the past. Alternatively, the finial could be used in an outdoor setting, such as a garden or patio, where its verdigris patina would complement the natural surroundings, adding an element of history and architectural interest. Whether displayed indoors or outdoors, this 19th-century copper finial brings a sense of Victorian elegance and timeless beauty to any space, making it a cherished addition to any home decor.

Monumental 19th c Gilt Copper Spire Roof Finial
Located in Hanover, MA
Extraordinary architectural roof finial spire over 9 feet high constructed of hand beaten copper then finished in gold leaf. Looking for a statement piece? You've found it! Weighs under 75 pounds. Stands steady on its own. In two pieces: the top ~40 inches can be removed from the rest, for ease of transport. Unrestored. Finish is worn and distressed but the original natural patina is gorgeous. It may be possible to go over the gilding with something that will bring out its luster. We have only dusted it. The largest sphere has a couple of noticeable dents which I'm sure could be pulled out however we love it just the way it is. Found in the basement of an un-renovated 1850's brick townhouse atop Beacon Hill. We speculate the copper is from Paul Revere's own works. Unsigned apparently but some of the American companies who made finials, weathervanes, etc. were: J.W. Fiske Cushing & Sons, Westervelt, Mullins Thomas W. Jones Kenneth Lynch...
