About the Item
This large pair of garden ball finials have been hand-carved from Italian limestone. Ornaments such as these can often be seen flanking entrances to gardens of Italian villas. Standing at 27 inches tall, each of the 13-inch diameter balls sits atop a baluster form pedestal (the balls and the pedestals were carved separately). A protruding ring enhances the short neck of the plinth, above a deep undercut above the circular foot. The finials have a gray hue, including some areas that have developed a darker gray patina, juxtaposed by areas of white. Our pair of Italian ball finials can be affixed at the top of a set of stone steps or used as decorative elements either inside or outdoors.

Carved Limestone Horsehead from Italy
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.
