ac-1010

A striking antique Pair of Italian carved stone Corinthian capitals, richly sculpted in the Renaissance manner with symmetrical volutes, scrolling acanthus foliage, and an expressive central mascaron. The deeply carved ornamentation is enhanced by a beautifully weathered original surface, with natural erosion, age-related perforations, and a wonderful patina that speaks to its history.

These highly architectural decorative elements, equally compelling displayed as a sculptural object, mounted on a plinth, or incorporated into an interior or garden setting. Its monumental scale and exceptional carving make it an impressive focal point for a sophisticated European space.

Wear consistent with age and use. Late 16th Century.
