Antique Wood Furniture Finial – Turned Hardwood with Peg Base

Description : This antique turned wood finial once adorned the corner of a banister, bedpost, or similar traditional furniture piece. Measuring 2 ½" in diameter and 4 ½" tall, the piece is crafted from solid hardwood with a rich patina and warm tone, enhanced by decades of aging. The finial features a classic bulbous top with rounded stepped base detail, and an integrated dowel peg for installation. Visible cracking in the wood suggests natural aging and drying over time, but the form remains structurally intact and desirable for restoration or reuse projects.
