About: This handsome sculpture of the Parthenon in Mahogany sits atop a plinth of Roso marble. The columns show mild entasis and somewhat correct entablature with sloped pediment above.
Why We Love It: The naive nature of this piece leads us to believe it may have been a student or woodworker project from the recent past and most likely from the US given the whole number measurements.
Condition: The marble has flea bite chips as shown with two corners having losses as well. The mahogany temple form is well affixed to the marble base. Some Mahogany finish degradation as shown. Overall fun and shows well.
Dims: 12” Wide x 5” Deep x 11.5” Tall
Location: Sperryville, VA
