The Pineapple as a Welcome

Pineapples were rare in colonial America. Ships carried them from Barbados and Bermuda to England, and they often arrived rotten. Guests served pineapple felt honored. The fruit became a sign of hospitality. Pineapples topped roofs and framed doorways at Virginia plantations such as Shirley and Brandon. A pineapple hospitality symbol at the gate greets visitors with style. The stylized pineapple leaf adds a bold crown.

What Is a Finial?

A finial marks the top or end of an object. The word comes from the Latin finis, meaning end. In architecture, finials emphasize the peak of a dome, spire, gable, or roof. A pineapple hospitality symbol also suits a porch or a drive. The stylized pineapple leaf is cast with fine detail.
