This stunning finial was commissioned as part of a restoration project. The stone Ven Finial was replicated as part of the restoration of the English Heritage Grade I listed, William and Mary style, Ven House in Dorset.
The lid has large petals and is topped off with a stylised pineapple, the most exotic, extravagant and sought-after of foods in the late 17th Century.
The Ven Finial can be used to enhance balustrading or mounted on gate piers.
