Marble Pedestals and Columns

Fill Your Home with Roman Radiance, Courtesy of Marble Pedestals & Columns

Marble pedestals and columns have ancient and respected origins. The Greeks used marble pedestals to prop up the status of their gods, while the Romans used them to show off busts of their emperors. Partly because of this history, marble pedestals exude refinement and dignity. Plus, as home decor, they’re relatively functional and versatile, taking up little space and readily being able to move. Marble pedestals and columns add an air of elegance both inside the house and out. Consider placing a pair of marble columns on either side of an entryway—add a pair of bust sculptures on top the pedestals for a classical look. If you’re looking to mix East and West, place a pair of Chinese Foo Dog statues on each column. For the interior of your home, a simple, geometric column with a quirky bust on top can liven up an unused corner, open hall or empty entryway. Not interested in humanoid sculptures? Don’t worry—lamps, plants, and vases all work wonderfully above a marble pedestal. Encompassing a wide variety of styles, our collection of marble pedestals and columns offer something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for something with a Roman, neoclassical, or Hollywood flair, we have got you covered here at Chairish. No matter the style, it’s important to remember that marble statues tend to be softer than other materials—accordingly, those in extreme climates should heed caution. But, the plus side with marble is that the material is resistant to fading from UV rays and infrequently takes on scratches and pitting.
