Gorgeous Antique Mahogany Flame Shaped Finials blocks in wooden box as who doesn't need one

as who doesn't need one now and then

and the curves of the double banded rim that tops its neck

This marionette ranks among my favorite finds ever

For me it is the wear to this old painting—some paint loss and some fading too—that makes it great

The set includes a total of 30 high quality trimming and modeling tools

Gorgeous Antique Mahogany Flame Shaped Finials blocks in wooden box as who doesn't need oneSuch beautiful things! Found in Massachusetts, I believe these are mahogany, 19th c if not earlier, and were certainly once attached to some fine thing. I love them just as sculptural wooden objects to set somewhere, but with small holes in their bases they could certainly be used as finials once again. Sold as a pair. 4 1 16 t x 1 7 16 d ea. Excellent condition, with what appears to be a small dab of white paint on one of them, as pictured.
