Solid wooden pedestal dating from the 1980s, with a turned shaft on a circular stepped base and an octagonal top, measuring approximately 22 × 90 cm in width by height and in good vintage condition.
Description from the seller
Elegant decorative solid wood pedestal/column dating from the 1980s, characterized by artisanal turning craftsmanship and an imposing vertical structure.
The column features a wide circular base that is stepped and embellished with several concentric levels, and a finely turned shaft with swollen elements, moldings and decorative rings. The top is finished with an octagonal wooden platform, slightly chamfered on the edges, with natural grain clearly visible.
The wood presents a pleasant warm brown tone, with a polished finish and natural color variations that give the piece an authentic vintage character. The turning of the shaft and the sequence of moldings make the column particularly scenographic.

Style: Vintage / Italian traditional
Material: solid wood
Form: turned shaft with circular base and octagonal top
Measurements: approximately 22 × 90 cm (diameter/width × height)
