About the Item

This 19th-century American cast iron pilaster capital is a stunning example of early Art Nouveau design, blending classical architectural elements with a touch of organic flair. Crafted in the composite order, it features swirled volutes framing a central rosette, a motif that hints at the blossoming artistic movement of its time. Below, traditional Corinthian-style acanthus leaves anchor the design, creating a harmonious balance between the old and the new. The cast iron construction boasts a rich, timeworn patina that adds depth and character, making it as much a sculptural artwork as an architectural fragment. We've mounted this piece on a custom steel wall bracket, allowing it to be displayed as a striking decorative element in your home or office. Whether hung in a study, living room, or entryway, this capital exudes historic charm and timeless elegance, effortlessly bridging the gap between classical grandeur and modern sophistication.
