Pair of Wood and Brass Finial Sculptures by Sarreid Ltd., Circa 1960s–1970s
Good design, egg-secuted properly.…
Originally derived from architectural ornament, finials were designed to mark endings, crown structures, and provide visual punctuation.
By the 1960s and 1970s, designers began reinterpreting those forms as standalone decorative objects. This pair combines lathe-turned hardwood and aged brass to create a silhouette rooted in historical precedent while feeling surprisingly modern.
Proof that good proportions travel well.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
