Substantial column with a tightly-twisted spiral body, Roman-style multi-band capital, and broad stepped base. Deeply and organically textured Tuscan stucco-like layer hand-crafted over a smooth plaster core. We’ve been unable to find any other examples with the exact same striking from.

Further setting the pair apart from their similarly-styled contemporaries is the tinted plaster’s very pretty shade of super pale pink blush, a finish we’ve not found on them elsewhere. It’s an incredibly delicate color that’s difficult to capture in camera—the uniform warm pink tone can take on a very subtle hint of peach under certain lighting conditions.

With original brass stem, socket, and fittings. Includes original complementary warm pink-tinted light ecru empire-style shade. 31.5 inch-long cord appears to be original as well.

Dimensions listed are overall. Column is H 60 in. x Dia. 24.75 in. at bottom and Dia. 5.5 in. at top. Height to top of finial is 64.5 in. Each weighs a substantial 44 lbs. See less
