Magisterial zinc finials and weathervane

Particularity of this reference for the Atelier Auder d'Ornements

Magistral in their height and above all in their beauty, it was a source of pride to create these ornaments for the Château de la Bourdaisière.

From the skirt to the tip, the workshop put its know-how to work to create this beautiful roof decoration.
