Now, shrink it! Voilà: this utterly charming 19th-century faux-marble pedestal. Hand-carved and hand-painted in a rosy pink-red “marble” finish, this delightful little column hails from Italy, circa 1880-1890. The pedestal has a weighted base, ensuring it stands securely and is not easily tipped over.

Bold in colour, compact in size—this faux marble colonna adds architectural interest to even the smallest spaces. But fair warning: This pedestal is small—but mighty. (Check the measurements to avoid any dramatic misunderstandings.)

Dimensions: H 84 cm x W 18 cm x D 18 cm
