Pair of Neoclassical Scagliola Pedestals

This pair of scagliola pedestals reflects the neoclassical revival that shaped European decorative interiors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each pedestal is proportioned with a broad circular top, a compressed cylindrical shaft, and a stepped base, creating a grounded silhouette.

Executed in scagliola—a pigmented plaster technique developed to imitate marble—the surfaces are finished in a warm yellow tone with dark veining intended to evoke Siena marble. Scagliola was favored for decorative furnishings that required visual richness without the expense or weight of stone, and was commonly used for interior plinths, columns, and architectural accents.
