Pair of Large Italian Carved Limestone Acorn Finials on Octagonal Plinths
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.

Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
