PALATIAL PURPLE - Antique Red marble pedestal in the form of a Doric column with a molded base and a quadrangular counter-plinth resting on powerful lion claw feet in gilded and chiseled bronze. Parisian work from the second half of the 19th century, tasteful Neo-Greek. Around 1860-1880.

Of sumptuous majesty, our pedestal draws on theGreco-Roman Antiquity materials, form, order and architectural repertoire.

Made of Antique Red marble, it has a column with a fluted shaft topped with a Doric capital; a frieze, covered with triglyphs alternating with bare metopes, soberly enlivens the astragal and gorget. Molded with grooves on a square section base, it rests on a quadrangular counter-plinth magnified by gilded bronze ornamentation chiseled with lion claw feet forming a support.
