Pair of bases made of carved marble, dating from the 19th century. The pieces, which have the same design, have a clear Renaissance inspiration, visible in the use of acanthus leaves and the use of a structure based on geometry and symmetry. This type of pedestal has been used since antiquity to house figures, mainly religious and clothed, which fell on the pedestal in a graceful manner. These architectural pieces were common with numerous decorative variations, becoming a characteristic and indispensable element of architecture.
