This gothic leaf capital crowns a column or turned post with a ring of carved leaves rising from a round astragal base to a crisp 4″ square top. It is made for church restoration, replication of original ecclesiastical woodwork, and fine built-ins such as library bookcases, altar rails, pew ends, screens and cabinetry. Art For Everyday is a millwork and furniture component manufacturer producing carved capitals and church millwork for designers, architects, church furniture makers, restoration contractors and cabinetmakers.
At 3.375″ tall, the capital steps from a 0.5″ rounded astragal ring through a 2″ carved leaf bell to a moulded square abacus. The leaves sit on the corners and the centre of each face, curving outward to meet the underside of the square top, so the capital reads correctly from every side. Each piece is machined and hand-carved from solid quartersawn hardwood as wood millwork.
Church replication is a core part of our custom work. Send us a surviving original, a measured drawing, sketch or photograph, and we will reproduce the leaf profile, abacus size, base diameter and species to match existing church furniture and architectural details. For a matching piece from the same project, see our gothic spire finial (sold separately).
