AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant coordinated set consisting of 4 antique columns, ideal for high-end interior decor, stage sets, boutiques or exclusive interior design projects. Finding a pair of items of this size is common, but having a complete set of four identical columns represents a notable collectible and decorative rarity.
The columns feature a slender, fully fluted shaft. The details of the shafts, the bases and the majestic capitals in composite/Corinthian taste are richly finished in gold leaf.
The structures rest securely on square plinth bases.
Dimensions of each single column:
Total height: [...] cm
Base dimensions: 22 x 22 cm
Shaft diameter: 18 cm
State of conservation:
The items are 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 their age, which attest to their charm and authenticity (please view the photo gallery carefully for details of the patina). No major structural deficiencies are evident.
Given the dimensions and delicacy of the four elements, we are fully prepared to collaborate with the buyer for local pickup. Alternatively, shipping can be arranged after the auction via a specialized courier on a pallet, with costs fully borne by the buyer, to guarantee professional, expertly crafted protective packaging.
