Carved Stone Pedestal with Ribbed Texture

A squat stone pedestal with an hourglass profile: a pinched waist flaring out to a wide, heavy top and a base of the same width. The whole surface is cut into thick vertical lobes separated by deep grooves, so the piece reads as ribbed from any angle. The stone has eroded heavily and the sharp edges of the lobes have worn round. The color is warm sand and beige, with dark, soot-like weathering settled into the grooves, which makes the relief read deeper than it is.

We have not published dimensions for this one; it is a riser rather than a column, sized to lift a pot or an object off a floor or a shelf, and we will send exact measurements and a weight when you ask. It is one of a kind, and the erosion is real weathering rather than a finish.

Stand it on a hearth where the deep relief throws shadow, use it under a planted pot in a loggia, or set it alone on a shelf as an object. A stone pedestal this low takes a heavy pot without looking top-heavy. It is in our yard in Marina Del Rey; come and see it, or we will send photographs and a quote.
