About the Item

Pair of Porphyry Marble Columns with Gilt Bronze Capitals, 19th Century Porphyry marble & gilt bronze 20 x 4.25 x 4.25 inches Porphyry is an igneous rock, not marble, known for its distinctive texture of large crystals embedded in a fine-grained matrix. While not marble, it's often referred to as "porphyry marble" due to its historical association with the Roman Empire and its use in sculptures and architectural elements, often alongside actual marble. The most prized variety, Imperial Porphyry, is a deep reddish-purple stone with white or light-colored crystals, historically quarried in Egypt and prized for its rarity and durability.
