This style is reminiscent of Corinthian style; 7th century B.C. Greek style caricaturized by detailed ornamentation and engraving of fine lines and bell shaped columns. A mixture of forms and shapes make this pillar very eclectic to enhance any decor style.
All columns may be used as table bases; such as coffee tables, end tables or dining tables. If you are using a single base, be sure that the top is no more than THREE TIMES the diameter or width of the base. For larger table tops, choose a pair of bases for sturdy support.

About Roman Architecture
From early times the Romans had felt the artistic influence of Greece. In 146 BC, when Greece was conquered by Rome, Greek art became inseparably interwoven with that of Rome. "Greece, conquered, led her conqueror captive" is the poet's way of expressing the triumph of Greek over Roman culture. To a large extent the art of the Romans was a development of that of their predecessors in Italy, the Etruscans, who, to be sure, had learned much from the Greeks. Nor were the Romans themselves entirely without originality. Though their artistic forms were, forthe most part, borrowed, they expressed in them, especially in their architecture, their own
practical dominating spirit.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
