Two Pairs of French 18th C Hand-Carved Stone Bench or Table Bases
These hand-hewn stone plinths likely were original foundation stones and bear a resemblance to staddlestone bases, but are shorter and more stout. Carved from a very hard heavily-fossilized stone, one pair measures 17" high while the other pair is 18" high. The stone is extremely durable and can remain outside uncovered year-round even in the most harsh climates. We envision them as the four pillars to a massive stone-topped coffee table, as bench legs, or individually, as side or cocktail tables finished with round stone tops in the garden. And of course, you can cut or bury them to equal heights if you want all four. Stone bases such as these come along very rarely, so make haste! When purchasing, please let us know which height you prefer.

Gigantic 18th C Hand-Carved Belgian Bluestone Pot au Feu (Flame) Finial
This incredible flame finial, along with three identical smaller ones (FBF 1073 and 1074), once graced a private castle just outside of Nemur, Belgium. Exceptional in all respects, it is deeply and crisply carved, with an intricate flame rising from a semi-lobed body on a rising, flared socle that terminates in a square foot. It has its own short pedestal, also hand-carved in bluestone. In wonderful antique condition, it does have numerous age-related surface crazing cracks that are not worrisome as bluestone is very hard and can winter outside uncovered in all climates if installed on a stone footing. Place this regal piece at the center of your herb or rose garden or in the center of a parterre, surrounded by low boxwood for a stunning effect. Approximate weight is 300-350 lbs.

Three Enormous 18th C Hand-Carved Belgian Bluestone Pot au Feu (Flame) Finials
These incredible flame finials once graced a private castle just outside of Nemur, Belgium and they are exceptional in all respects. Deeply and crisply carved, each features an intricate flame rising from a semi-lobed body on a rising, flared socle that terminates in a square foot. Each has its own short pedestal, also hand-carved in bluestone. All are in wonderful antique condition and are resplendent with a heavily-lichened patina. All have age-related surface crazing cracks that are not meaningful to their lifetime, as bluestone is very hard and can winter outside uncovered in all climates if installed on a stone footing. The finial in the front center position has had a recent repair just below the flame, done by a master artisan, and shown in the photos. Prior to the repair, the finial had a circumferential crack extending about 1/2 of the way around the finial but there was no movement, so it was not a full-thickness crack. Regardless, it is an excellent repair, color matched to the stone, and it is not evident unless you are looking for it. Place these regal finials flanking your front door, or to mark the entrance to your garden for a stunning effect. We are selling them as 1 single (the front center one) and 1 pair (the two to the rear in the photos), but have priced them individually, although you may buy all three. Approximate weight is 350 lbs. each.

Set of Five French 19th C Cast Iron Bollards with Chains and Rosettes
Most homes and gardens have a spot that needs to be cordoned off to prevent unwanted access and these fabulous bollards with their original chains will do it in style! When we bought them, they had no way of being stabilized in an upright position, so we had custom, heavy-duty pointed stakes about 20” high welded to the bottom of each bollard so they are easily inserted into the ground and stay where you put them…no concrete footing needed. Each bollard is separated by a chain that should hook onto connectors on the bollards, but sadly, there are no hooks on the chains. Instead, the chains have a blunt end with screws that have long ago rusted in place and so hooks will need to be crafted. There are 4 chains without rosettes, and 2 chains with rosettes that measure 64.25 inches in length and the rosettes were made to attach to a wall. Please note that the bollards measure 4 inches diameter at the base (and include pintles for driving them into the ground), and 5.5 inches at the top where the chains connect. The height without the pintles measures 39.5 inches, while the height including the pintles is 59.5 inches. The bollards, chains and rosettes have a beautiful rusty patina commensurate with age and wear, but they can always be sandblasted and repainted if you like.

Rare Large Willy Guhl Dog House with Original Pan
Designed by the iconic Willy Guhl in the 1960s and made of strong and lightweight fiber cement by Eternit, SA of Switzerland, this dog house with its original removable pan is the larger of two sizes designed by Guhl. It is in fabulous condition with no cracks, repairs or missing pieces. It is rare to find this large size complete with its original bottom and in such wonderful condition. Perfect in a contemporary garden to lend an interesting and functional element that will provide shade for your dog or cat. The patina is presently mottled with outlines of vines that were removed from its surface in the past but will weather over quickly if placed in a shady moist spot.

Four Mid-19th C French Numbered Carved Stone Mile Markers
We love historical architectural pieces and these four carved stone distance markers came from outside the city of Nancy in France. Each features remnants of old yellow and white paint and they have large carved numbers in them: Numbers 11, 12, 13 and 16. Perfect to mark your address, they are in very good antique condition and very solid. The one with #13 has a large chip out of the top right-hand side, but is still quite striking. Number 11 has additional writing on it “Pann 3” but we do not know its origin or meaning. Priced and sold individually.

Now here is a piece you don't find every day! This late 18th/early 19th C wrought iron trade sign once hung outside a key maker's shop, embedded into the stone walls with the two long horizontal arms.

Magnificent Pair of 17th C Carved Stone Heraldic Plaques of York and Lancaster
These fabulous and very large hand-carved stone plaques depict the heraldic symbols of the Houses of York and Lancaster (the War of the Roses). In overall good condition, with old iron repairs to the sides and a few cracks, they are completely solid and loaded with moss. The bas relief carving is crisp and deep and features the Roses of York and Lancaster, surrounded by leaves and with the name of each house at the bottom. Removed from a prominent estate in Gloucestershire, where they were moved to in the early 18th C, these plaques likely date to the 17th C. They would make magnificent adornments to your country estate, affixed to or embedded in a wall or in gate piers.
