Finial

This wrought iron finial, possibly for a gate, was made by the Edinburgh ironworks firm of Thomas Hadden. It dates from the first half of the 20th century.

The black painted finial is in the shape of a thistle.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Scottish firms such as Haddens underwent a revival due to increasing interest in Scottish styles and workmanship of wrought iron. This tradition had declined earlier in the 19th century due to mass production of cheaper cast iron.
