These elaborate newel posts were hand-carved in France, circa 1880. At some point, the oak wood was stripped, leaving minimal traces of the original darker finish. Newel posts are upright pillars used to support the handrails of staircases. Although a newel post’s primary function is structural, they are often aesthetically appealing, being either tightly turned pieces or highly carved. Our well-carved newel posts have a half-gourd shape and would have been flanking the base of a beautiful set of stairs. A rectangular plinth is surmounted by a large volute acanthus leaf. The “tail” of each volute extends upwards, branching out along the edge of the straight back. Similar carvings appear on both sides. Three acanthus leaf scrolls adorn the front side of each post, with the bottom leaf continuing downwards along the facing until it merges with the bulbous volute. Our great looking French bleached oak newel...

This wonderful French, hand-carved newel post dates to the final year of King Louis XIV (1643-1715). A wonderful dog rests atop a scrolling acanthus leaf c-scroll, while it's front paws hold a cartouche dated 1715 (please see photo.) Beneath the cartouche is a Louis XIV motif called a Lambrequin or campane runner with tassels and two fleur de lys motifs on it . This motif is carried through to the large hand-carved fleur de lys and acanthus leaves on the outside curve of the newel post. Another Louis XIV motif, the rosette, is in the center of the circle. Clusters of grapes fit within acanthus leaves are at the edge where the post would have fit into the next stairway piece. The interior if fully carved, duplicating the design of the outer curve. Both sides are connected by a beaded molding on a foot of leaves and scrolls. From circa 1710 to the early 1800s, specialty workshops in southwest France created newel posts on commission for important properties. Animals were sometimes carved atop newel posts for symbolic value. For instance, lions and snakes...
