Antique Solid Black Walnut Eastlake Style Plinth Block
Exquisite, rare, plinth block salvaged from an 1850's home in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It's made of solid black walnut, which is not commercially available; it's highly valuable and one of the most sought-after of the native hardwoods.We left the original, square nail that the block was fastened with, sti...cking out of the back. If you don't want it, let us know after the auction and we'll cut it off prior to shipping.We salvaged tons of trim work from the home, and this block was originally part of one of the home's pilasters. The last 4 photos show the pilaster that this block was removed from.Considering that the piece was exposed to the elements for over 160 years, it's in great shape! It has nicks, scrapes, scratches, shallow cracks, and small breaks, but is structurally sound; no rot or wrap.
Dimensions: 4 3/4" W x 9" H x 1 3/8" thick
