Description from the seller
Mid-Century Bronzed Pedestal with Stone Panels & Carved Detail
Overview: A Fusion of Classical Form and Luxury Materials
This mid-20th-century pedestal is a sophisticated example of classical revival furniture. Unlike standard wooden stands, this piece features a high-end combination of bronzed wood, intricate plasterwork (cut decor), and integrated stone panels. Its architectural presence makes it an ideal choice for displaying a heavy bronze, a clock, or a luxury art piece.
Material & Craftsmanship
Finish: The wooden frame has been finished with a "bronzed" effect, giving it the heavy, lustrous look of cast metal while retaining the warmth of wood.
Surface Details: The top and sides are accented with stone panels, providing a durable and prestigious surface for your objects.
Decoration: The column features a "cut decor" (carved patterns/plasterwork) that adds texture and a hand-crafted feel to the neoclassical silhouette.
Exact Dimensions
Height: 66 cm
Top/Base Surface: 34 x 34 cm
Note: The 34x34 cm surface is exceptionally stable, making it safe for larger decorative items.
Condition Report: Authentic Vintage Character
The piece is in honest vintage condition, bearing the marks of its mid-century history:
General Appearance: Shows normal wear and tear consistent with a used furniture item from this period.
Details: Visible scratches and marks are present on the bronzed surface.
Natural Aging: There are dry cracks in the frame, which is a natural occurrence in vintage wooden pieces and confirms their age and authenticity.
Why This Piece?
The combination of a bronzed finish and stone panels is rare and highly decorative. At 66 cm tall, this pedestal is perfectly sized to sit beside a sofa or in a hallway, bringing a "stately home" aesthetic to a modern interior. It is a sturdy, architecturally interesting piece that serves as a canvas for your most prized artwork.
