About the Item

This robust pair of limestone entry finials date to circa 1850. The French finials have a pyramidical shape that is softened by several ogee moldings and deep cavetto undercuts. The gray stones have a light mottling of black, ochre, and white, making them attractive garden ornamentals or architecturals for a walkway, gate, or entrance.

Italian Ancient Botticino Marble Pair of Pinnacles, circa 1850
Located in Milano, IT
Pair of pinnacles
Northern Italy, mid-19th century
Botticino marble, carved
They measure 33.1 inches in height x 17.7 x 17.7 (84 cm x 45 x 45)
