Pair Of Large Ridge Finials From Saintoge, 19th Century
A pair of large, beautiful glazed earthenware ridge finials, the tops decorated with birds; a very attractive glaze in shades of “beige” and ochre; an old firing flaw. These objects were distinctive symbols of wealth and protection for roof structures, often featuring human or or animal motifs—as seen here with two birds crowning a spherical section
These two beautiful and highly decorative ridge finials consist of two separate elements that have never been joined together—a rather “rare” feature—and originate from the Saintoge region between the Charente, the Garonne, and the city of Saintes
In good condition, large in size, and with a lovely patina
