Description: | Copper alloyFurniture Mount. Cast mount formed as a tight bud and leaves - or perhaps a pine cone - with narrow circumferential bands of rouletted billeting above a reel-shaped or collared base. A round lug with two turns of screw thread for attachment occurs below this. The screw thread suggests this to be a modern object, though the rendition of the pine cone is consistent with Roman convention, and the object is perhaps designed with Classical forms in mind. Suggested date: Probably Modern, 1800-1900. A deep patina is partially abraded, but is retained. Height: 28.3mm, Diameter: 14.3mm, Weight: 15.96gms.
