About the Item

Hand-carved in four sections, this pair of Italian limestone acorn finials sit on robust octagonal plinths. The lower section of each ovate nut is encircled by a gadrooned calybium. Beneath the cupule is an octagonal column with a tapering neck adorned with quarter-round molding. There is a subtle bevel at the bottom of the neck above the thick two-piece plinth. The bottom stone has luscious ogee molding before finishing with a thick, straight edge. A light accumulation of brown moss adds a splash of color to the variegated gray color stone with some small white inclusions. Our fascinating Italian acorn finials can be used as garden ornaments or to flank a driveway or set of steps. Please note that foam and painter sticks can be seen in between the sections of stones. These will not be needed for a proper installation.

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...
