About the Item

This striking pair of antique newel post finials features finely hand-carved wooden eagles, embodying the grandeur and craftsmanship of the late 19th to early 20th century. Each eagle is depicted in a majestic pose, with wings partially extended and heads turned slightly, exuding a sense of vigilance and nobility. The eagles’ plumage is meticulously detailed, with layered feathers carved in high relief, showcasing the artisan's skill and attention to detail. The heads are expressive, with sharp beaks and keen eyes that add to their commanding presence. Each figure stands firmly on taloned feet, which rest atop a rounded pedestal base, making them well-suited as crowning ornaments for staircase newel posts. The wood boasts a rich, warm patina that highlights the natural grain, a testament to the pieces’ age and the quality of the material used. The bases are solid and slightly domed, providing both stability and an elegant transition to their intended architectural setting. Condition: Both finials are in excellent antique condition, with minor wear consistent with age that enhances their character. The carvings remain crisp and well-defined, with no major losses or repairs visible. Dimensions: Approximately 13.75" h x 6.75" w x 5" d (base). These finials would have originally served as decorative focal points atop staircase newel posts in a grand home or estate, symbolizing strength and protection. Today, they are rare and desirable as standalone decorative objects or architectural collectibles, ideal for display on mantels, pedestals, or incorporated into restoration projects. This pair is a timeless representation of the craftsmanship and design ethos of a bygone era.
