Pair of antique cast iron architectural bases (late 19th - early 20th century)

This pair of antique cast iron architectural bases comes from France and dates from the late 19th to early 20th century. Originally used as supports for small columns or industrial installations, they have a beautiful, authentic patina. Each base has a square top with a central hole, making them decorative and ideal for repurposing as candle holders, display pedestals, decorative elements, or bookends, adding character to any industrial or rustic interior. They feature an antique patina with surface oxidation, a very solid and heavy construction, and a central hole suitable for candles or accessories. Wear is consistent with age and industrial use. Dimensions (per piece) • Width: 14 cm • Depth: 14 cm • Height: 17 cm Weight • Just over 12 kg per piece (extremely solid cast iron)
