"Pair Of Blue Scagliola Columns "
Pair of blue scaglioila columns.Scagliola, marbre de Carrare.
Italy.
Early 20th century.
h. 44,5 in. ; d. 12,6 in.
Pair of columns in scagliola and white Carrara marble. The scagliola technique, an aggregate primarily composed of plaster, pigments, and scattered crystals, not only makes it possible to produce lighter columns but also achieves tones and textures that would be very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain with marble quarried from stone.
The shaft of these columns thus imitates the texture of antique green marble, if such a marble in blue was ever to be found.
Some damage can be noted on the blackened wooden bases, which can be restored.
