Description

This listing describes a pair of Gothic crocketed pinnacles made of stone, located in the formal garden at Erddig. Each pinnacle has a square section stone base set on a stone plinth. At the angles between the canopies, there are crudely carved human heads. The faces of the bases and canopies, which originally faced outward, show weathered cusping and panelling. The finials at the top of the pinnacles are missing.
