Satisfying (and Infinitely Useful) Pair of Turned Columns in Old White Paint wallmounted attached to a hand-stitched clothJust a beautiful old pair of turned wooden columns in old white paint, which shows a sort of white gray now that's just right and makes them feel all the more classical. Useful as pedestals, or topping with a board to make a platform, or just as lovely sculptural things. Very nice. 11 3 16" t x 3 1 16" w + d and in very good, nicely aged condition with some darkening to the paint as evident, all to the good I think. They stand sturdy and square. Sold
