" Pair of Columns to excite passion " France CIRCA 1820
The ancient Greek and Roman designs used in many ways by Neo- Classical designers inspired this exciting Pair of Bronzed and Gilded Empire Columns - virtually untouched and in a wonderfull patinated state minus their light fitting . Michael would prefer to keep them as architecture examples ( light fitting can be made without any loss to their dignity and value )
Fascinating details and artistry ( note the Rams Headed capitals ) incorporating similar details to the perfume burner in the Vand A Museum by James Stuart for Wentworth House ..
