Ornamental Roof Finials are the Perfect Addition to Your Home

Ornamental roof finials are used to emphasize the top of a spire, roof, cupola, or other prominent architectural feature. They were first popularized in Asia around 711 A.D. to decorate pagodas and saw a resurgence in popularity during the Victorian and Gothic eras. These later designs were often based on Arthurian legends or regal symbols, such as the fleur de lis, and sometimes incorporated ornamental figures such as gargoyles, dragons, and other mythical creatures. Ornamental roof finials were originally made from stone, but eventually craftsmen transitioned to using copper because it resists corrosion and withstands the elements for decades.

Our finials range in height from 13” to 39” and are available in a variety of finishes, depending on the design. These finishes include black (gloss or matte), copper (polished or patinated), white (antique or gloss), and nickel (brushed or polished). With our extensive collection, you are certain to find the perfect ornamental roof finial for your home!

King Arthur's Court

Travel back to Camelot with our ornamental roof finials inspired by Arthurian legend. From the idyllic island of Avalon where the mighty Excalibur was forged, to the infamous fairy queen and sorceress Morgan le Fay, to brave Sir Gawain, knight of the round table, each finial has a tale to tell.

Royal Roof Finials

Add a touch of royal elegance to your home with one of these regal finials. Our Victoria finial is inspired by none other than Queen Victoria, whose reign was a period of industrial, cultural, scientific, political, and military change and saw a great expansion of the British Empire. Our magnificent Aragon finial - available in 28" and 40" heights - is named after the medieval kingdom of Aragon, located in modern day Spain. Or for a touch of France, we have the classic fleur-de-lis, symbol of the French monarchy.

​Famous Cities

We also have a gorgeous series of ornamental roof finials inspired by cities around the globe. Modeled after finials adorning the historic city of Boston, our Bostonian finial has a simple, elegant ball and spire design. Our Italian-inspired finials are available in stunning black matte finish. Stately and picturesque, the Venetian finial features hand-hammered lines in its spire and a smooth ball. The Florentine has an elegant, feminine quality with its curved, hand-hammered lines on the ball and spire. The Roman is a classic design with a smooth surface throughout. Inspired by the pagoda temples of Japan, the Kyoto finial features a six-sided spire atop a rounded base. ​
