Description from the seller

Splendid and elegant antique column pedestal represents a refined furnishing element, ideal for enhancing sculptures, precious vases, or art busts within a classic living room or a representation entrance.

The column has slightly reduced dimensions compared to the classics, with a height of 70 cm, making it perfect to pair with a taller one to create a splendid play of volumes.

Entirely crafted in precious veined alabaster with warm tones ranging from ivory white to ochre, enriched by deep and evocative dark natural veining that make the piece a unique item of great expressive power.

The classic design draws inspiration from traditional architectural proportions, characterized by a cylindrical shaft with ring moldings that rests on a solid circular and stepped octagonal base. The top is completed by a square resting surface with elegantly beveled corners, perfect for ensuring stability for the objects displayed. The richness of the material and its natural vintage luster confer timeless charm to this element.

Dimensions and Weight:

Height: 70 cm
Top surface: 21 x 21 cm
Weight: 10.3 kg

The item presents itself in generally good vintage condition. The stone maintains its robust solidity and the splendid luster of its natural veins. Only normal and light signs of time and age are noted, small surface imperfections or minimal traces of use that do not affect its stability or its high decorative value, but testify to its authenticity and history.

Seller's Story

Welcome to a fascinating journey into the beating heart of the 20th century, where the objects that animated that era are transformed into custodians of timeless stories, passions and emotions in a journey that combines the elegance of antiques with the unmistakable charm of vintage. From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation. Every object, whether it is an antique piece of furniture or a rare vintage item, carries with it stories and emotions, evoking memories of a time that continues to inspire.
