Distressed White Floral Decorative Lamp Base or Finial Sculpture

This item appears to be a decorative object, possibly primarily intended as a lamp base or a very large decorative finial or newel post cap. It is crafted from a solid material, likely resin or a composite, given its intricate molded details and distressed finish. The color is off-white or cream, heavily distressed with darker undertones showing through in areas where the paint has been intentionally worn away, creating an 'antique' or 'shabby chic' aesthetic. The form tapers upwards from a broad, curved base to a more slender shaft, culminating in a fluted, flame-like or finial top. The most prominent feature is the extensive relief detailing of roses and foliage that covers a significant portion of its midsection. These floral motifs are deeply carved or molded, exhibiting a high level of detail in the petals and leaves. Below the floral section, a band with stylized acanthus leaves or similar neoclassical ornamentation is visible, leading up to the fluted finial. The base itself is asymmetrical, with a flowing, almost organic curve, and features a stepped rim. Observable condition issues include the intentional distressing, which is part of its design, but there may also be genuine wear marks or chips, though these are difficult to distinguish from the intended patina in the provided images. A rectangular orange sticker, likely a price tag, is affixed to the upper part of the shaft. The overall aesthetic suggests a late 20th or early 21st-century manufacturing date, aiming to replicate the look of older, intricately carved decorative pieces. Its substantial size and detailed craftsmanship indicate a decorative piece meant to be a focal point.
