Its name derives from the delicate carving that runs along the shaft, depicting bunches of grapes, vine leaves, and stems—a decorative motif characteristic of the Mediterranean Baroque tradition. These columns were crafted by master sculptors from pine wood, then prepared with a thin layer of gesso, painted, and gilded with gold leaf. The piece retains its original gilding and features, on the back, some natural wood grain, characteristic of its age and attesting to its authenticity. The column boasts a luxurious Corinthian capital, a richly carved shaft, and a wide hexagonal base that lend it stability and presence. It has been elegantly adapted into a lamp, retaining all its ornamental power and becoming a unique piece capable of transforming any space. Ideal for an entryway, living room, or bedroom, where it will provide warm lighting and a striking decorative statement.
