Strikingly Vibrant & Luxurious Multi-Tonal Banded Natural Onyx Pair of Column Pedestals, Circa 1950s-1980s
Furniture, GeneralThis striking pair of architectural pedestals is crafted from exceptionally vibrant natural onyx, most likely originating from high-quality quarries in Pakistan or Iran, which are renowned for producing “Rainbow” or “Multi-Green” varieties. The stone showcases a dramatic geological history through its vivid, horizontal banding in a rich spectrum of ochre, terracotta, cream, and distinct seafoam green tones. The pair of pedestals follow a refined Neoclassical silhouette, featuring a sleek cylindrical column centered between a substantial square top and a matching stepped square base.
Based on the clean, geometric design and the highly polished finish of the stone, these pedestals likely date to the mid-to-late 20th century, specifically between the 1950s and 1980s. This period saw a significant revival in neoclassical stone furniture, often utilizing these colorful banded onyx varieties for luxury interior accents. The translucent property of the onyx ensures that the pedestals appear to glow when placed in well-lit areas, highlighting the unique natural patterns that make each piece an individual work of art.
This pair represents a timeless intersection of natural beauty and architectural form, adding an element of organic luxury and a sophisticated platform for sculpture, art glass, or floral arrangements.
Dimensions: each top and base max 9.75″ square x each max height 36 & 1/8″ x each cylindrical column diameter 3.5″
