The cylindrical column rises from a square plinth base, a classical form that references both Greco-Roman architecture and the grandeur of 19th century interiors.

The paint work is exceptional — the veining has the spontaneous, gestural quality of genuine Nero Marquina marble, executed with the kind of confidence that suggests a skilled decorative painter rather than a factory finish. At this scale, it functions as a sculptural object in its own right, even before you place anything on top of it.

Use it to elevate a prized sculpture, a large ceramic, a plant, or a bust. It would be equally at home in a grand traditional interior or as a dramatic counterpoint in a more contemporary space. The scale reads well in an entry hall, flanking a fireplace, or anchoring a corner.
A serious decorative object for a serious collector.

Standing an impressive 41 inches tall with an 11-inch diameter top and a grounding 13-inch square plinth base, this column has the presence of a true architectural element — substantial enough to anchor a significant object or simply stand alone as sculpture." See less
