AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant coordinated set composed of 4 antique columns, ideal for high-representation interiors, scenographies, boutiques or exclusive interior design projects. Finding a pair of elements of this magnitude is common, but the presence of a complete set of four identical columns represents a remarkable collectible and decorative rarity.
The columns feature a slender and fully fluted shaft. The details of the shafts, bases and the majestic composite/ Corinthian capitals are richly finished in gold leaf.
The structures rest firmly on square plinth bases.
Dimensions of each single column:
Total height: [...] cm
Base square dimensions: 22 x 22 cm
Shaft diameter: 18 cm
Conservation status:
The objects appear 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 details of the patina). No major structural deficiencies are evident.
Given the size and delicacy of the four elements, we are fully available to collaborate with the purchaser 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 purchaser, to guarantee professionally protective packaging of artisanal quality.
