About the Item

Truly a one-of-a-kind offering, this chateau column base was hand-carved in Dijon, France, circa 1750, making it a Louis XV period architectural. Carved from a single block of limestone, the robust column boasts canted edges adorned with elegant fluting and a gracefully molded entablature that overhangs its substantial body. The front of the column features high relief carving, showcasing an S-scrolled volute facade atop a four-inch thick plinth, while fluted sides and a charming roundel near the bottom whorl add intricate detail. Standing at 29 1/4 inches tall, this remarkable limestone architectural piece can also double as a unique base for a glass-topped table, infusing your space with timeless elegance and historical charm.
