Coral rosettes bloom on a field of soft green. This antique teak capital is the showpiece of the collection, carved in front with acanthus leaves, deep rolled scrolls at both ends and red-coral rosettes at the top and along the foot. The paint has worn in all the right places, leaving the colors soft, layered and a little chalky with age. Turn it around and the back is something else entirely: a rough, raw beam of weathered teak, which tells you it was made to sit against a wall.

At 18 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 14 inches tall, it is the largest of the group and holds a room on its own. Set it on a console, a mantel or a deep window ledge and let it do the work of a sculpture. Use it as a pedestal for a plant or an arrangement, a riser that lifts a tray or a bowl, or a bold accent in an entry or dining room. The soft green pairs with whites, creams and natural wood, and the coral picks up warm tones in textiles and art. Because it is teak, it also suits a covered porch or patio, where the paint will keep weathering.

This antique teak capital measures 18 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 14 inches tall and is carved with acanthus leaves, scrolls and coral red rosettes in a worn soft green painted finish. The carving and paint cover the front and ends, and the back is raw, weathered teak. It works as a pedestal, riser or sculptural accent on a console, mantel, window ledge or entry, indoors or in a sheltered outdoor spot, and suits designers and collectors who want a large, colorful architectural piece with real age.

Q&A
1. How should I place a piece that is carved on one side?
Set it with the carved front facing the room and the raw back toward the wall, on a console, mantel or deep ledge. It was made to be seen from the front and ends. The rough back sits flat and out of sight, which keeps the display clean.
2. Can I use it with live plants or fresh flowers?
Yes, with a little care. Place a saucer, tray or waterproof liner under any pot or vase so moisture never reaches the aged paint. Dried stems and branches need no protection at all.
