#PEDPRPG.FURN.    Antique European very Unique Pedestals in Original condition and really Gorgeous when viewing in person.  These are gorgeous and I have no more use for them so I am selling them with free shipping and hope someone will truly enjoy them as I did.  They are all original and I purchased them in Europe on my travels.  Circa middle 1800's and made hand carved  in wood with much consuming time.  The original polychrome colours are muted greenish colour in addition to gold's and soft bands or delicate pink. .   One can use them anywhere in your home or add lights to uppers where one can display anything you wish.  They would be great for a entrance with lamps on them or displays of a floral arrangements.   One could add a marble top to each or add a marble or glass top to both as a long entrance table or sofa table.  You could do so much with these.  They are very attractive and don't think one could ever come across something like these.  They remain in beautiful condition as shown with minor flaws such as two pieces off the bottom and some of the hanging peaks are off or cracked somewhat however, to me this is so minor as these are very rare to come by and they are gorgeous.

The Pair.

Its scalloped as shown on the entire frame and one could paint it to your colour decor if you wish.  Each hand painted hand made tile is heavy and this would have to be shipped as I have no way of packing it myself otherwise I would gladly.  I can check out some shippers locally for you if you wish me to.  The Antique Frame is also wide in width as shown to hold such a heavy piece.  This would be gorgeous inside the right Kitchen area or Living or Family or even your office...
