Description from the seller
Decorative column / pedestal in a classical style
Italy, second half of the 20th century
Refined indoor decorative column, made of composite/resin material with a marble effect finish, inspired by classical and neoclassical architecture models. The object is designed as a single pedestal, ideal for displaying statues, busts, vases, or ornamental objects.
The structure is organized into:
Richly carved circular base with foliate motifs and raised decorations.
Central twisted shaft, finely crafted with continuous carvings that follow the helical pattern.
Decorated capital with volutes and vegetal motifs inspired by Corinthian design.
Circular upper surface, slightly protruding, decorated with ornamental engravings and a moulded edge.
The ivory color finish with dark patina in the engravings enhances the sculptural details and gives the overall piece an elegant 'antique' appearance, reminiscent of the visual effect of carved marble.
