Here at UKAA we have a large selection of decorative antique finials and reclaimed wall caps.
Traditionally garden finials were found on period properties and stately homes but today are often used to decorate gateways and entrances.
Originally from the Elizabethan period gate finials were used to demonstrate the wealth of the family and often had elements of the family crest such as lions and eagles within the carvings.
Pineapples were also often used to show hospitality.
During the Victorian period ball finials both made from stone and terracotta were also very popular.
Currently we have a large selection of gate finials in stock including a range of vintage reclaimed ornamental Haddenstone piers and Chilstone capings.
Pictured below are a pair of vintage reconstituted stone pier caps.

We have just advertised a fantastic pair of Terracotta finials on our website.
The finials are a lovely pair and would look great on gate posts or wall pillars.
They have a fantastic patina from being stored and used outside, this will only improve with age.
