About the Item

Originally an architectural for the roof of a Belgian building, this granite finial dates to the 1700s. The foliate finial has deep carvings, making it presentable from all sides. Large, curled leaves arise from a square block, forming an open leaf cup around the central stamen. Traces of white accents can be seen throughout the dark gray stone, giving additional character to the 300-year-old finial. Mounted more recently to a light brown wooden plinth with several layers of thick molding, our Belgian roof finial can be displayed on a center table, console, or mantel.
