Column - Alabastro Venato di Volterra - 1850-1900

Elegant freestanding pedestal column, a refined piece entirely made in alabaster with veining from Volterra alabastrine gypsum. (Italy) Scenographic, beautiful in form and appearance, the stone stands out for extraordinary material quality, characterized by a suggestive waxy translucent background and dense natural gray-anthracite inclusions, which create a rich and deep cloudy effect with a sinuous movement. Entirely turned and shaped, it presents the upper octagonal plane with a bevel-edged profile. The central cylindrical shaft tapers with three projecting rings (collar rings) carved from solid. Beautiful is the stepped octagonal base, which geometrically echoes the design of the summit, ensuring formal and static stability. Typical product of the late 19th century / early 20th century, it preserves the splendid original luster obtained through fine manual polishing of the natural stone. An interior decor piece of timeless classicity, expression of that Tuscan art craftsmanship celebrated across Europe between the 19th and 20th centuries. Thanks to the superb contrast between the geometric rigor of its lines and the fluid natural veining, this column represents the ideal solution to enhance bronzes, marbles or vases of high epoch, blending with innate elegance both in historic interiors and in sophisticated contemporary interiors. Divisible into 8 parts and assembled by a metal core. It will be shipped with careful protection and insured.
