A very simple model of traditional cast decorative columns or pillars with an authentic traditional design. It will fit nicely in almost all types of architectural environments. The base and the capital are the same nicely decorated pieces of casting, in the Corinthian style, which enhances the aesthetic balance of this authentic ornamental column. It is structural but also decorative. You can see similar pillars in the Castle of Chambord in France.
This model of decorative column is very appropriate for balconies, gazebos, arbours, terraces, porches, verandas, pergolas or even a canopy; it is often used for indoor decoration or renovation purposes: lofts, loggias, mezzanines, pubs, bars... It can also be assembled with a fluted shaft; it then becomes the model 29. This is a real piece of European Classic style.
The Chambord castle, in the French "Loir et Cher" department is perhaps the most recognizable castle in France, with its pure 'Renaissance Française' architecture. It was commissioned by the king François I, and build from 1519 until 1547. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci participated in its conception.
Here are some remarkable features of this castle: its central double-helix staircase (almost certainly designed also by Leonardo da Vinci), the fact that its facades were never meant to be symmetrical (unlike most French castles), its very bizarre roof with 12 different types of towers and 3 different types of chimneys, and its more than 800 sculptural masterpieces...
Please note that all the elements of our system of cast traditional decorative columns (unique on the market ) are sand-cast in our Belgian aluminium foundry, which exists since nearly 60 years now. This is a real representation of the traditional Belgian Quality.
