Moldings stack one above the other, a band of scrolls and leaves sits at the center and a row of small beads runs below it, all in a worn dark finish with a touch of teal-green patina gathering at one corner. This antique teak block carries its decoration on the front face only. Turn it around and the back is raw, rough, weathered wood, which is how you know it was built to stand against something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 8 inches tall, its rectangular shape suits places where a round pedestal can't go: a narrow mantel, a long shelf, a console edge or a deep windowsill. Set a pillar candle on the flat top, use it as a riser for a bowl or a stack of books, or let it stand alone as a small sculptural accent. The dark finish grounds a light wall, and the teal adds a quiet note of color. Because it is teak, it also suits a covered porch or patio, where the finish will keep aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Era: Antique\u003cbr\u003e*Material: Teak with a worn dark finish\u003cbr\u003e*Size: 12\"(W) x 8\"(D) x 8\"(H)\u003cbr\u003e*Color: Worn dark brown finish with teal green patina\u003cbr\u003e*Condition: Antique condition with worn finish, aged patina and wear consistent with age.

The back is raw, weathered teak, and the top has a small round socket. It works as a candle stand, riser or sculptural accent on a narrow mantel, shelf or console, indoors or in a sheltered outdoor spot, and suits designers and collectors who want a compact, carved architectural piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003cbr\u003e1. Where does a rectangular piece like this work best?\u003cbr\u003eIts footprint of 12 by 8 inches suits narrow mantels, long shelves, console edges and deep windowsills, where a round pedestal would take too much room or look out of place. Set the carved front toward the room and the raw back toward the wall.\u003cbr\u003e2. How do I protect my furniture, and will the patina rub off?\u003cbr\u003eThe back and base are rough, raw teak, so add felt pads under it to protect a polished surface. The teal patina and dark finish are aged and stable, but small flecks can lift with rubbing, so dust it gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid scrubbing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Teak with a worn dark finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"(W) x 8\"(D) x 8\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worn dark brown finish with teal green patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique condition with worn finish, aged patina and wear consistent with age.
