- Made of solid pink Italian marble circa late 1900s
- Neoclassical structure: the design follows a traditional classical order, consisting of a distinct circular top platform (capital), a central shaft, and a molded bottom rim (torus base)
- Stepped moldings: both the capital and the base utilize clean, stacked ring transitions that ground the piece and safely distribute the weight of whatever sits on top
- Polished finish: the solid marble is honed to a smooth, glossy reflection that highlights the organic variations in the stone
- Breccia-style veining: the stone features dense, swirling patterns of pink, cream, rust, and white veining, giving it a heavy, dramatic visual texture
- Modular construction: carved in three separate interlocking segments (top cap, main body, and footer) to make transportation manageable despite the immense weight of the solid stone
- Weighs approximately 175 pounds (43 pounds each top cap and footer plus 90-pound main body)
- When fully assembled, its substantial weight provides a highly stable, museum-quality foundation capable of securely holding heavy stone or bronze sculptures
- Measures 39.75" height with a 9" wide base and a 10" wide top
- In excellent overall condition, with a few nicks and scuffs where the main body meets the top cap and footer, but sits flush and free of any significant or otherwise noteworthy imperfections See less
