Column - Alabastro Venato di Volterra - 1850-1900

Elegant pedestal column, a fine entirely alabaster carved piece in veined Volterra alabaster (Italy)
Spectacular, beautiful in form and appearance, the stone stands out for its extraordinary material quality, characterized by a suggestive waxy translucency as a background and dense natural gray-antracite inclusions, which create a rich and deep cloudy effect with a sinuous pattern.
Fully turned and shaped, it presents the upper octagonal plane with a beveled profiles.
The central cylindrical shaft tapers, with three protruding rings (collars) carved from the solid.
Beautiful the stepped octagonal base, which geometrically repeats the design of the summit, ensuring formal and static stability.
Typical production of the late 19th / early 20th century, it preserves the splendid original luster obtained through fine manual smoothing of the natural stone.

A furniture complement of timeless classicism, expression of that Tuscan high craft celebrated throughout Europe between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thanks to the superb contrast between the geometric rigor of its lines and the fluid naturalness of the veins, this column represents the ideal solution to enhance bronzes, marbles, or vases of high antiquity, fitting with innate elegance both in historical settings and in sophisticated contemporary interiors.
