Restored finial

[thehomeengineer]

Hi All
I have been renovating a house we bought several years ago. When we got it was invested with rats. So unfortunately the house ended up with the nickname name 'RATS'. While looking for some roofing materials on eBay I came across a finial which was perfect for the roof. So the seller agreed she would package up the item and send it to me. (which was very kind)
Once I received the item it was cleaned and repainted ready to be fitted. I know this type of thing won't be everyone's cup of tea but I am really happy with the result and it hopefully will look okay from the ground.

original condition

Cleaned up

Watered down masonry paint wash

Masonry base coat

Weathering chimney pot

Detail finished ready to fit

Need to get roof finished so the finial can be mounted

I know this won't appeal to everyone but I couldn't resist buying it

Thank you for viewing
