Lot 59:
A Neoclassical Revival Painted and Parcel-Gilt Pedestal
Description
A single decorative pedestal or plinth executed in the Neoclassical Revival style, constructed from painted wood or composite material. The structure comprises a stepped square base supporting a tall, tapering central shaft, topped by a square capital. The piece is finished in a pale cream or beige wash designed to simulate heavy distress or faux patina. High-relief carved or molded ornamentation adorns the shaft and capital, featuring classical motifs including round rosette medallions, laurel wreaths, elaborate volutes, and draped swags. These relief details are highlighted with imitation gilt paint. The overall appearance suggests a decorative architectural element intended to imitate historic George III or Italianate style pedestals. No manufacturer marks or inscriptions are visible.
