Pair Of Tall Carved Italian Limestone Ball Finials On Pedestals

About the Item

Hand-carved from Italian limestone, this pair of ball finials on pedestals measure over four feet tall. Both balls are roughly 15 inches in diameter and sit atop a square plinth. Beneath the plinth is a three-piece rectilinear pedestal, with subtle cavetto moldings at the top and the base. The limestone is dark gray with some lighter areas, dotted with a black patina and brown accumulation of lichen that gives the stones a more advanced age appearance. Ball finials, such as our pair on pedestals, can often be seen at Italian villas, flanking the entrance of a garden. They could also be used as decorative elements inside. *For shipping and transportation purposes, the finials can be disassembled into two pieces, while the pedestals are in three sections.*

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.
