These are parts to an old bronze / brass fireplace fender / kerb. Each piece is 8 pounds, so flat rate postage will be the way to ship on these, folks. Each finial comes in 2 pieces -- a square base and the upright finial. The uprights have holes to allow fender rails to pass through or connect. One fender is for a "straight away", with two opposing sides having this opening. The other fender is for corners, with 3 out of the 4 sides having the opening.
In the opening of the square base, there are holes on each side. From the underside, this would allow pressure screws to press against the uprights to further secure them in place.
These would be handy for anyplace you need a replacement solid finial, not just a fireplace.
I do not know the age, but these are from an estate where absolutely EVERYTHING was high-quality 17th - 19th century antiques.

Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only
charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all
possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear
redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues
between side views.
I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage
unless there was a significant error in my description. The item
listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my
knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question
or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer
to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your
purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a
history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw
which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this
does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require
comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
