Pair of English 19th century finials
About the Item
Attributed to Austin and Seeley. Felix Austin began his business in 1828 describing himself variously as an architect, statuary mason and sculptor as well as artificial stone maker. His material was made from Portland cement, broken stone, pounded marble and coarse sand (The Builder 1868) and he encouraged leading architects and designers to work for him. Around 1840 he entered into partnership with John Seeley who had trained at the Royal Academy Schools and also made an artificial stone.
