This unique set of 3 architectural carved wood columns with decorative stone bases comes from mid-19th-century India. The lovely aged aquamarine green color detailing gives these columns an old-world appeal.
The pillars have been salvaged from an old building in Gujarat State and saved for future generations! They have lots of the fantastic old paint with fabulous patina built up over centuries. They can be used as the grand entrance in to a courtyard or patio area, as well as architectural features internally. They are in amazing condition & are VERY heavy. The teak is solid, and the pillars sit on fine limestone heavy bases. These pillars are saved from buildings in India which have fallen into a state of disrepair and are no longer repairable. They are clearly old pieces and there are some historic repairs and age related marks and wear and tear as you would expect.
In summary, traditional Indian columns are more than mere architectural elements. They encapsulate the historical evolution, artistic endeavors, and cultural essence of India’s rich heritage, serving as enduring testaments to the country’s architectural ingenuity and spiritual profundity.
In the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary architecture and design, traditional Indian columns have found a significant place. These architectural elements, known for their intricate carvings and symbolic significance, are being seamlessly integrated into modern structures, ensuring their timeless allure continues to inspire. Architects and designers today draw heavily from the classical column designs, merging them with cutting-edge materials and innovative construction techniques. This blend creates hybrid structures that beautifully juxtapose tradition with modernity.
