Victorian Painted Plinth Block – Single Piece

Description :
This Victorian-era painted plinth block features a classic stepped edge molding profile and layers of original paint that have aged beautifully over time. Measuring over 17 inches in height, this architectural element was once installed at the base of door casings to elegantly transition between baseboard and vertical trim. The paint shows natural distress and wear, revealing the history and craftsmanship of the piece beneath. Ideal for period restorations, decorative reuse, or as a standalone vintage accent.
