Pair Of Polychrome Scagliola-clad Columns

A pair of display columns in the shape of an inverted truncated pyramid. A decorative piece that perfectly imitates classic marblework, ideal for a pair of busts, sculptures, vases, candelabras, or period-style lamps.
​Crafted from marble-effect scagliola, with in-the-mass decoration and natural stone inclusions.
​Beautiful polychrome finish combining a rich, veined crimson/cherry-red background with central panels carved in a draped/scalloped pattern in antique green marble (sea green or Maurin green style).

​Square upper shelf with pronounced molding to support heavy items.
​Elegantly sheathed quadrangular shaft (widening toward the top).
​Molded base resting on a square plinth.

Some wear and restoration, but overall in very good condition.

Late 19th-century Italian piece in the spirit of the 18th century
