A piece of high-quality Italian craftsmanship (Lombard craftsmanship), entirely hand-carved, estimated to date back to the 1960s.

Subject and Style: Classical Revival design. The column shaft is fluted (vertically grooved) and topped with elegant acanthus leaf carvings. The upper surface is finely carved with a large stylized flower (daisy).

Material and Finish: The column is made entirely of solid wood (likely walnut or oak), heavy and very sturdy. It features a beautiful, medium walnut-colored high-gloss finish, which highlights the grain and the quality of the carving.
