Pair of Terracotta Flame Finials, France, 19th century

Offered by: Antique and Art Exchange

Description
A handsome pair of terracotta finials, each sculpted in the form of a flickering flame rising from a tiered, circular base. The textured surfaces and spirited movement of the flames capture the rustic charm and architectural ambition often found in 19th century French garden ornament.
Circa 1850, these period pieces were created during a century that saw a great revival of interest in grand, ornate garden pottery.
Sculpted in terracotta with a weathered, earthy surface that reflects years of exposure to the elements. Rooted in the Neoclassical tradition, these finials embody the 19th century's romantic appreciation for classical motifs and the enduring beauty of natural forms.
