Old Iron Spiral Tip with Red Paint branches in original blue paint

in original blue paint

by William Cowper

It's done on heavy

and just a fabulous object to have around

This is an absolutely wonderful old hand-carved wooden frame

Old Iron Spiral Tip with Red Paint branches in original blue paintAs you may know, I've been hunting interesting old finials of late, which this is not, but I find it satisfying in the same sort of way, including for the old red paint still clinging to it. Surely it was the head tip of an old tool of some sort, but now without a handle it's just a good object to set somewhere, made of iron so nice and heavy, and with this very satisfying spiral. 5 7 8" t x 1 1 4" in diameter and indestructible.
