About the Item

This impressive pair of French architectural roof finials is crafted from solid steel, each measuring 43.5" high by 21" wide and 6" deep. Featuring a dramatic radial arrangement of stylized arrow forms radiating from a central sphere and topped with a slender spire, these finials were originally designed as ornamental elements for rooftop peaks or towers. Their robust steel construction and naturally aged, weathered patina speak to their durability and historical authenticity. Today, they make striking sculptural accents for interior or garden display, offering a bold blend of industrial elegance and classical French design.
