Rare and exceptional Corinthian living room column in soft green veined Onyx marble, it rests on a built entablature with plinths and is decorated with a bronze capital and a circular chiseled ornament in a sausage of bundles of laurel leaves in a base worked with a rich molding; the magnificent capital tops the column, it is perfectly chiseled in the respect and the canon of the Antique. The shaft of the bulging and well polished column in the respect of the canon of ancient Roman architecture is of soft green veined color and the base of the same like the entablature with a hollowed out bronze allowing to place a rotating tray. It is a rare and semi-precious ornamental piece by the richness of the materials used; I offer it as a set with an antique crater cup with handles decorated with generous ivy leaves and flowers, running around the edge, well-argued and running on the very elegant finely chiseled handles and a fine profile, elegant remark of dexterity, the flared neck decorated with a frieze of stylized interlacing, the shower foot well worked with palmette motifs and a beautiful and lively silhouette. I am not talking about the patina that accompanies the remarkable original and wonderfully preserved chiseling of dark medal color, this piece is attributed to the Barbedienne workshops from where under the base a manufacturing number has been affixed, this set in good condition constitutes a prestigious decorative element and in an affirmed "Neo-classical" spirit
