Description from the seller
Old stone-carved column base: an architectural piece with history
This solid column base, hand-carved in stone and dated to the 18th century or earlier, is a fragment rich in character. Its 43 cm width gives it a strong presence, while the stepped circular carving at the top reveals the artisanry of traditional stonemasonry.
The surface shows the natural patina of time: gentle wear, slightly eroded edges, and color variations that only centuries can produce. All this without compromising its structural integrity, as the piece remains remarkably well preserved for its age.
Key features
• Solid stone, hand-carved, with visible traces of craftsmanship.
• Classical architectural design, probably part of a column, pedestal, or decorative structural element.
• Balanced proportions: 43 cm wide, contributing stability and sculptural presence.
• Genuine patina, with natural wear that confirms its antiquity without detracting from solidity.
• Versatile piece: perfect as a base for sculptures, a rustic side table, an interior or garden decorative element, or a collector’s item.
Decorative and collector value
Its sober, monumental aesthetics fit rustic, wabi-sabi, contemporary, or classic settings. It works as a focal piece on its own or as a stand for art, plants, or lighting. It is an object that brings history, texture, and authenticity to any space.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
