Italian Ancient Botticino Marble Pair of Pinnacles, circa 1850
Located in Milano, IT
Pair of pinnacles Northern Italy, mid-19th century Botticino marble, carved They measure 33.1 inches in height x 17.7 x 17.7 (84 cm x 45 x 45) State of conservation: some visible cracks and various small gaps.

These aesthetic characteristics suggest that originally the pair of pinnacles were placed on columns or on architectural plinths...
