Pair of 18th Century French Blue Painted and Gilt Grape Vine Columns, Iron Bases

About the Item

Dating to the 1700s, this beautiful pair of French columns have gilded grapevine motifs over light blue pained standards. The columns are three-quarter, meaning that they are not completely round, with a flat backside. It is quite possible that the columns were once affixed to a wall, but they have been mounted to 1 ½” tall black iron bases more recently, allowing them to float within a room. The sprawling grapevines, which include large tripartite leaves and grape clusters, are arranged in a non-contiguous helix pattern. Both columns are topped by golden capitals of the Composite order, with a pair of Ionic volutes flanking thick egg-and-dart carvings. The sides of the volutes are adorned with leaves in the style of the Corinthian order, bundled by a thick rope of beading. Standing over five feet tall, the blue and gilt columns would make quite an impression flanking a doorway, such as in a foyer or wine room.
