Description: | Iron bedstead finial. Cast iron finial, probably from a substantial cast iron bedstead, formed as an open oval scallop shell with nine lobes around its edge, with an indeterminate central feature with two upright members at its centre, rising from a round collar or pediment. The finder's suggestion that this might be from a fireplace tends to be contradicted by the continuation of relief detail on the back. The style is strongly influenced by Classical forms. This finial was set at the end of an upright element of the putative bedstead, presumably of round section, and of diameter 21mm. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1860.Height: 180mm, Width: 105mm, Thickness: 34.3mm, Diameter (basal feature): 47.4mm
