Roman Pedestal

Description

The Roman Pedestal was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD. Furnishings of ancient Rome were the source of inspiration for this unique piece. The most important record of furniture of the Roman period is the collection of carbonized furniture from Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the cities, burying them under tons of ash. The site was lost for almost 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599, and broader rediscovery 150 years later by the Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre. The objects that lay beneath the ash had been preserved for centuries because of the lack of air and moisture.

With its timeless elegance, the Roman Pedestal makes an exceptional plinth for displaying an objet d’art. The pedestal also makes an excellent plant stand for residential and hospitality interiors. This exquisite piece of furniture is handmade by a master craftsman using the finest quality rosewood. Robust construction allows the pedestal to support even a heavy sculpture without flexing. It is offered in a variety of finishes and accents. Custom sizing is available.
