Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant coordinated set consisting of 4 antique columns, ideal for high-end interior design, scenography, boutiques, or exclusive interior design projects. Finding a pair of items of this scale is common, but having a complete set of four identical columns represents a remarkable collectible and decorative rarity.
The columns feature a slender, fully fluted shaft. The shaft details, bases, and majestic capitals in a composite/Corinthian style are richly finished with gold leaf.
The structures rest firmly on square plinth bases.
Dimensions of each individual column:
Total height: [...] cm
Square base dimensions: 22 x 22 cm
Shaft diameter: 18 cm
Condition:
The items are presented in overall good structural condition. They show a beautiful and authentic patina of time on the lacquer and gilding, with slight and physiological signs of wear consistent with age, which testify to their charm and authenticity (please carefully view the photo gallery for patina details). No serious structural deficiencies are evident.
Given the dimensions and delicacy of the four pieces, we are fully available to cooperate with the buyer for local pickup. Alternatively, shipping can be arranged at the end of the auction via a specialized courier on a pallet, with costs entirely borne by the buyer, to guarantee professional protective packaging to a workmanlike standard.
