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.

Resting on this, a round pod-like element swells up to support a large pine cone. This is the main decoration: however, the other ornamental details enhance and embellish it, while exalting its position above, whether observed from afar or up close. These aesthetic characteristics suggest that originally the pair of pinnacles were placed on columns or on architectural plinths...
