Pair of Chic Painted & Gilded Pedestals, Elements of 18th-Century Fluted Columns - 8"

This pair of pedestal bases is crafted from painted and gilded wood, repurposed from 18th-century column fragments. The cylindrical forms feature fluted detailing, reminiscent of classical architecture, and rest on square bases. The aged patina, with areas of wear and gilding loss, lends these pieces an authentic timeworn charm.

Originally part of larger architectural elements, these columns would have adorned grand interiors, possibly supporting entablatures or decorative features. Their transformation into pedestals preserves their classical aesthetic while giving them a functional second life, echoing the 18th-century appreciation for symmetry and ornamentation.

Ideal for presenting vases, sculptures, or decorative objects, these pedestals can be arranged in a symmetrical pair or displayed separately. Their neoclassical influence makes them versatile for both traditional and contemporary interiors, adding architectural depth and historic character to any space.
