France, 19th Century

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Exactly As Pictured

Found in Chartres, this rare 19th-century French pedestal brings all the grandeur of classical architecture into a single sculptural form. Its fluted column rises to a richly carved Corinthian capital, where scrolling acanthus leaves and floral details support a generous square top. Originally used to display busts, urns, and treasured objects in grand interiors, it remains every bit as striking today. Sylvie loves it topped with a stone bust, an overflowing arrangement of branches, or displayed on its own as a piece of sculpture in the room.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The wood shows some age-related cracks. One foot is missing, giving the piece a slight lean and some movement.
