Yvonne French Provincial Corinthian Column Pedestal, Antique White Magnesia 103cm
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
A full classical column in chippy antique white, a Corinthian capital, a fluted shaft, and a round base, the kind of plinth you stand a plant or a bust on.
Yvonne is a Corinthian column pedestal cast in magnesia composite and finished in a chalky antique white worn back to a warm undertone along the edges. The capital carries the acanthus leaves and corner scrolls of the classical order, the shaft is fluted top to bottom, and a round stepped base holds it steady.
It stands 103cm tall on a 37cm footprint, the height of a proper plinth. Top it with a fern, an urn, or a bust and it lifts the piece to eye level. It weighs 17kg, so choose its spot and move it with a second pair of hands.
Why we love it
- ◆ A real architectural column, capital, fluted shaft, and base, the whole order rather than a fragment, for a true salvaged-ruin look.
- ◆ Cast magnesia, chalky white, the worn antique-white finish reads like old painted stone, warm where the surface has rubbed back.
- ◆ A plinth at standing height, 103cm puts a plant, lamp, or sculpture up where it can be seen, beside a doorway or in a corner.
- ◆ One of a kind here, a single column in this shipment, a statement piece rather than a matched pair.

How to style it
A few ways to use Yvonne:
- Stand a fern or trailing plant from our planters on top.
- Display a bust or urn from sculptures and statues.
- Set a tall vase and branches on it in an entry.
- Place it in a corner or beside a doorway as a column on its own.
Stylist's Tip A column reads best with a little height on top and space around it. Give it a corner or a spot by a door, and let one good plant or object finish it rather than crowding the capital.
Care & Keeping
Dust the capital with a soft dry brush to reach the recesses, and wipe the shaft with a barely damp cloth. The magnesia finish can chip on a knock, so move it upright with help and rest it on its base. Keep it indoors or under cover, out of standing damp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it go outside?
It can sit on a covered porch or veranda, but it is happiest indoors. Cast magnesia and its chalky finish soften and mark in steady damp, so keep it out of rain and off wet ground.
How heavy is it to move?
It weighs 17kg. Carry it upright with two people where you can, supporting the base, and set it on a firm, level surface.
How tall is it, and what can I put on top?
It is 103cm tall on a 37cm round base. The flat capital top suits a plant, an urn, a lamp, or a bust. Keep what you display in proportion so it does not overbalance.
What style does it suit?
French Provincial, classical, and château interiors, and it works as a sculptural piece in a pared-back modern room too.
Will mine look like the photo?
It is hand-finished, so the worn antique-white and the warm patches underneath vary piece to piece. Small chips and rough texture are part of the salvaged look, not faults.
Because Yvonne is hand-finished, the antique-white wash, the warm undertone, and the surface texture vary from piece to piece and add to the character of each one. Small chips and rough patches are part of the look. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
