An exceptional pair of Solomonic columns in carved and gilded wood, likely Italian, dating from the high Renaissance period, Louis XIII (circa 1600–1700). These twisted columns, inspired by the bronze columns of the Temple of King Solomon in Jerusalem, feature a rich and detailed carved decoration of vine branches, grape clusters, and birds, reflecting the artistic mastery and religious iconography of the period.

The Corinthian capitals and carved floral spirals highlight the refinement of classical and Baroque ornamentation.

These columns, of impressive height, were designed to integrate into a major architectural setting, likely a retable or monumental ensemble. The original gilding is largely preserved, with some minor losses as shown in the photos, attesting to the authenticity and age of the pieces.

A rare and prestigious example of 17th-century Italian sculpture, ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of Baroque art, and historic church furnishings, bringing a striking architectural and decorative presence to any interior or heritage space.
