Description
Traditional genuine roofing terracotta gable-end Finials, ridge tiles These are little individual works of Art; and clay sculptures! I have sourced these over many years, from antique shops, building demolition sites, and from roofing contractors. Now is the time to down-size. Dating from the turn of last century, circa 1900’s, these genuine grotesque gargoyle Gable-end finials and raised ridge roof tiles embellish the traditional look of tiled roofing.
We have multiples of most of these; and a few are one-offs. This auction is for one finial, or raised ridge tile capping.
Some have traces of mortar where they have been previously installed; however most are completely clean, never having been mounted. Some have chipping, and age related crazing, and hairline cracks; but all are structurally sound & intact.
Fashioned from terracotta clay, many are made by Symons Bros, Fairfield, NSW.; or Wunderlich, Sydney and branded accordingly.
This extensive range of individual finials and raised ridge tiles are perfect for the finishing touches to a period restoration of a villa, or to cap-off an historic building.
Architects, draftsmen and quality builders with an eye to perfection can now use original terracotta sculptures to complete their roofing detail. Specialised historical Architectural hardware & fittings.
Pick-up in central Greenlane, only. Prior inspection invited. We will not courier/ship these, due to their fragile and historic qualities.
