Victorian Painted Wood Plinth Block – Single Piece

Description :
This original Victorian-era plinth block retains its historic detail beneath layers of aged paint. Each block is milled from solid wood and features traditional fluting with a scalloped (zig-zag) top, common to 19th-century American millwork. These were installed where door casings meet baseboards to create a visually unified and elevated architectural element. With remnants of white and black paint, these blocks have an authentically aged finish and can be restored, stripped, or reused as-is for period-accurate restorations or upcycled décor.
