Finial on Roof Design Inspiration from Valley Forge Cupolas

At first blush, finials can seem to be simplistic: a mere spire of metal piercing the sky. But finial designs are exquisitely varied, with subtle details that pop against a heavenly backdrop. Placing finials on roofs is a great way to add elegance and character to your home. Their sleek designs complement any architectural style and highlight the unique features of a building.

The photo above shows just how different finials can be. Starting on the left, the Victoria Finial summons thoughts of knights with a shape similar to a jousting lance, while the Smithsonian Single Ball captures the wonder and grandeur of the Smithsonian Museum. For a more European flair, we have a beautiful Fleur-de-Lis. Lastly, the stunning Guinevere and Morgana Finials pay homage to classic Arthurian-inspired finial designs.

All of our finials are handcrafted from pure copper by skilled artisans. Their superior quality means they will add beauty to your home for decades to come. If you’re ready to picture your home with a finial, here are some photos from satisfied customers to inspire you.

Finials on Roofs: Photos from Our Customers

Picture
The stylized lily or lotus flower design known as the fleur-de-lis was first used by French kings back in the twelfth century. Since then the symbol has become synonymous with royalty, elegance, and sophistication. Our customer chose the Fleur-de-Lis finial as the crowning complement to the 36” Custom Roxbury cupola we added to their new construction.

As you can see above, the ring accents of the Morgana highlight the octagonal cupola and rounded window of this home, drawing all the elements together. Choosing the right height for your finial will include considerations of roof height and length, distance perspective, and the overall size of your home. That is why we offer some of our finials - such as the Morgana - in multiple heights, to ensure proper sizing for your individual home. ​

This stunning home also sports a Morgana finial atop a 48” CNC window cupola. This home is brimming with beautiful architectural accents, such as bold white trim and square windows, which are mirrored in the cupola. The curves of the Morgana finial provide relief from the sharp lines while its delicate taper echoes the vertical lines of trim to form a cohesive look.

Enjoy the Classic Elegance of Finials on Roofs!
