AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant coordinated set consisting of 4 antique columns, ideal for high-end interior decoration, stage sets, boutiques, or exclusive interior design projects. Finding a pair of items of this caliber is common, but a complete set of four identical columns represents a remarkable collectible and decorative rarity.
The columns feature a slender, fully fluted shaft. The details of the shafts, the bases, and the majestic composite/ Corinthian capitals are richly finished in gold leaf.
The structures rest securely on square plinth bases.
Dimensions of each individual column:
Total height: [...] cm
Base dimensions: 22 x 22 cm
Shaft diameter: 18 cm
Stato di conservazione:
The objects are in overall good structural condition. They show a beautiful and authentic patina of time on the lacquer and gilding, with light and natural signs of wear consistent with their age, which attest to their charm and authenticity (please view the gallery carefully for patina details). No major structural deficiencies are evident.
Given the size and delicacy of the four elements, we are fully willing to collaborate with the buyer for local pickup. Alternatively, shipping can be arranged after the auction via a specialized courier on a pallet, with all costs borne by the buyer, to ensure a professional, expertly protective packaging.
