Indian Marble Pedestal / Base

Black marble, square and steady, with no opinion about what goes on top.

This pedestal or base comes from India, is contemporary, and is marble. Stone-cutting has a long history in India, where marble has been quarried and worked for temples, palaces and inlay for centuries. The column is a plain square block in deep black, polished to a soft sheen with faint veining on the top. It rises from a stepped base of two shallow tiers. The lines are crisp and the corners sharp. It is 17 inches long, 17 deep and 30 high.

Discreet enough to disappear beneath whatever it holds up.
