The pressures of being buried for over a century have weathered this item into an elegant form. Originally crafted from old-growth teak, the pedestal has undergone a natural petrification process over time, transforming its organic composition into a robust structure while preserving its wooden soul. The result is a breathtaking interplay of texture and form—deep, undulating grains ripple across the surface like frozen waves, accentuating the dense, mineralized core of the wood. Shades of earthy brown intertwine in abstract patterns, evoking the fluid artistry of time itself. The pedestal’s form, weathered yet resolute, retains hints of its original craftsmanship while embracing the raw irregularities shaped by subterranean pressures and mineral deposits. Remarkably durable and rich in character, this piece embodies a striking balance between ancient artistry and geological transformation. See less
