Beautifully cast bronze rosette finial by Sheldow Manufacturing Co., marked “SHELDOW R-1-P” on the underside. This sculptural floral form features crisp relief detailing and a warm patinated finish. Sheldow produced high-quality architectural and lighting hardware throughout the mid-20th century, supplying decorative bronze components for fine furniture makers, custom lighting houses, and restoration workshops. This piece likely served as a newel post cap, or architectural ornament. The design’s deep petal modeling and aged bronze sheen give it substantial decorative presence.
