Copper has been used in architecture for thousands of years, from ancient Egypt to medieval Europe to modern roofing. Along with its alloys, brass and bronze, copper is commonly used on roofs and ornamental fixtures to add beauty, charm, and elegance to a structure. An easy way to add this gorgeous metal to your home is with copper finials for cupolas. The perfect finishing touch to any cupola, our handcrafted finials add a dash of European flair to your home.

Celebrate Copper with Fantastic Finials

Copper is a marvelous metal, able to form and hold complex shapes while maintaining durability and strength. It is also corrosion resistant, withstanding the elements for decades on end. The natural patina copper develops over time creates a protective shell over the metal, helping it resist further corrosion. That is why finials gradually transitioned from being made of stone to being fashioned from copper.

Finials saw a resurgence in popularity during the Victorian and Gothic eras, and modern designs are still heavily influenced by the finials of that period. Victorian finials were heavily influenced by royal designs - such as the fleur de lis - and designs based on Arthurian legend were also extremely popular. These are a few favorite finial designs, but you can view all the designs on our finials page.

​The Gawain finial is one of our Arthurian-inspired designs. One of the famed Knights of the Round Table, Gawain’s exploits can be found in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by the Pearl Poet. This beautiful finial - available in two heights - is fashioned to resemble a knight’s lance, its point gracefully piercing the sky as it adds Old World charm to your home.
Picture
Morgana - better known as Morgan le Fay - is the infamous fairy queen and sorceress of Arthurian legend. This finial captures her mysterious charm with a graceful design befitting such a powerful lady.

Finials abound in the historic city of Boston. Inspired by these classic designs, the Bostonian features a simple, elegant ball and spire design. It is available in polished copper, patina (verdigris), and black (matte or gloss).

Our Smithsonian Collection is inspired by the museum of the same name. This particular finial features an ornate ball and delicately tapered spire sure to inspire wonder, just like the museum exhibits.
