Early 20th Century French Architectural Column Pedestal

A most impressive authentic antique architectural salvage hand carved gessoed and gilded solid wood spiral turned classical Ionic order column, with lavishly decorated shaft wrapped in trailing foliage relief carvings, topped with an integral capital with scroll volutes. France, 19th century, luxurious Baroque taste, almost certainly commissioned for and originally part of a Catholic church, this repurposed building element now mounted on a substantial white painted domed cylindrical base and fashioned into a highly decorative sculptural object / display pedestal / torchiere candle stand or potentially mounted as an electrified floor lamp / jardiniere plant stand or whatever else you can imagine! Dimensions (approx): 51.5" Tall, 13.5" Diameter Condition: Overall great antique condition with warm rich patina and brilliant luster. On sturdy later base. Likely regilded or touched up in the past. Strong, stable, structurally sound. Wear consistent with age, use, handling & exposure, including scattered nicks, chippy paint losses, exposing gesso, old nail holes from mounting, etc. Some fading, discoloration and surface fissures to base. Nothing that detracts from the aesthetics or functionality, but only adds to the authenticity, sophisticated antique character, charm, elegant warmth, and unique rich historical interest!
