Early 20th Century French Rosso Francia Red Marble Pedestal

About the Item

Crafted from richly veined Rosso Francia marble, this early 20th century pedestal offers a refined nod to French neoclassicism. Its columnar silhouette draws from Greco-Roman traditions, with clean proportions and a presence that feels both architectural and intimate. Sourced from the historic quarries of St. Nazaire de Ladarez, the deep red marble—known since the Renaissance as Rossi di Francia—was once favored by Louis XIV and famously used in the Palace of Versailles. Here, it takes on a more restrained role, with vivid white veining adding visual contrast to the warm, saturated red. The pedestal is constructed in two parts: a solid cylindrical column resting on a flat square base. This design gives it both presence and portability, whether used to anchor a sculpture, elevate an object of curiosity, or stand confidently on its own. Well-suited for traditional, Parisian modern, or contemporary interiors, this piece brings a sense of quiet grandeur without the formality.
