Item Description
A wonderfully sculptural 18th century carved newel post, with a beautifully weathered surface and exceptional hand-worked detail.
Originally forming part of a staircase, the post has been carved with repeated scale-like decoration, scrolling motifs and a tall shaped finial, giving it an almost folk art quality when viewed as an object in its own right. The years have softened the carving and surface, leaving a rich, dry patina with areas of wear that only add to its character.
We particularly like architectural fragments like this displayed away from their original setting, where they become pieces of sculpture rather than simply elements of a building. This would sit brilliantly on a console, plinth or large table, either alone or amongst a collection of objects.
