AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A wonderful ancient original Solomonic column in Calacatta Oro marble, the most prized marble quarried in the Carrara quarries in Italy, admired worldwide for its beauty and refinement, with its distinctive veining and the bright white color enriched by golden hues. It consists of an elaborate twisted shaft in Calacatta Oro marble, completely hand-carved, set on a marble base (fixed) and crowned at the top by a capitello (capital) fitted into place and featuring a central hole for the possible insertion of a pin (wood or iron) to make it even more stable (though it remains stable even without a pin). The column comes from a private collection and is presented in very good condition considering the centuries elapsed, a true work of art, rare, of great value and prestige.
