Object Description
Pair of large French Neoclassical ormolu, glass and marble pedestals
French, 20th Century
Height 112.5cm, width 36cm, depth 36cm
These exceptional pieces are a pair of large French pedestals, in the form of Corinthian columns, crafted from ormolu (gilt-bronze), green marble and glass. In the Neoclassical style with influences from the French Empire period, they are remarkably grand objects, wonderfully bright and decorative, offering the ideal vintage or antique piece with which to display or mount the decorative objects of your choice.
The base is case in gilt bronze, as is the column capital, and certain tiers and layers are accentuated with green marble, while the main column length is made of glass. The choice of marble helps accentuate the elegance of the Classical form, lending these pieces a wonderful sense of clarity, presence, and grandeur.
