18th Carved Belgian Granite Roof Finial on Contemporary Wooden Plinth

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.

Large 18th Century Wooden Carving of an Angel with Cherubs

Located in Dallas, TX

This endearing hand carved wooden statue depicts a large central angel, flanked by two winged cherubs. The grouping has been stripped recently, allowing the skill of the carver to be displayed in full. The removal of the original finish also gives additional character to the statue, as the centuries old repairs are now visible, as seen on the leg of the cherub to the angel’s left. The angel is touching the hand of one cherub and the top of the head of the other as though protecting them. They are standing upon a platform with stylized circular clouds swirling around them. The tall angel wears a robe with tassels draped over his shoulders and tied at his waist. The winged cherubs are shown as full figures, which was often seen in the 18th century, as well as during the Renaissance. In the Baroque period, they were often shown only as winged cherub heads. The piece is of Western European origin, possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany. At nearly 4 feet by 4 feet, this statue is of a particularly large size, especially considering it is a figural grouping. The back of the piece is a series of plain, horizontal boards...
