About the Item

This large pair of garden ball finials have been hand-carved from Italian limestone. Ornaments such as these can often be seen flanking entrances to gardens of Italian villas. Standing at 27 inches tall, each of the 13-inch diameter balls sits atop a baluster form pedestal (the balls and the pedestals were carved separately). A protruding ring enhances the short neck of the plinth, above a deep undercut above the circular foot. The finials have a gray hue, including some areas that have developed a darker gray patina, juxtaposed by areas of white. Our pair of Italian ball finials can be affixed at the top of a set of stone steps or used as decorative elements either inside or outdoors.

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) State of conservation: some visible cracks and various small gaps. The two twin architectural elements of sculpted Botticino marble have a quadrangular base from which a chalice-shaped foot extends. Resting on this, a round pod-like element swells up to support a large pine cone. This is the main decoration: however, the other ornamental details enhance and embellish it, while exalting its position above, whether observed from afar or up close. These aesthetic characteristics suggest that originally the pair of pinnacles were placed on columns or on architectural plinths...
