This Pair Of Columns Makes A Real Impression When You First See Them – They Can Be Used Indoors, (if Your Ceilings Are High Enough), Or Outdoors As Required.

In classical European architecture, an atlas is a support which has been sculpted in the form of a man and which can take the place of a column, a pier or a pilaster. The Roman term for such a sculptural support is a telamon.

These Bronze Atlas columns depict classical a pair of bearded figures which are dressed in togas and sashes and support the capitals of the columns on top of their heads and they feature Bacchanalian cherubs, grapes and also have a pair of angels on either side. The columns are stood on decorative bases featuring putti and various other ornamentation presented in high relief.

Over the years the bronze surface has acquired a lovely patia which gives the statues a warmth and depth that is most appealing.

More

In classical European architecture, an atlas (also known as an atlant, or atlante oratlantid; plural atlantes) is a support sculpted in the form of a man, which may take the place of a column, a pier or a pilaster. The Roman term for such a sculptural support istelamon (plural telamones or telamons).

The term atlantes is the Greek plural of the name Atlas – the Titan who was forced to hold the sky on his shoulders for eternity. The alternative term, telamones, also is derived from a later mythological hero, Telamon, one of the Argonauts, who was the father of Ajax

The caryatid is the female precursor of this architectural form in Greece, a woman standing in the place of each column or pillar. Caryatids are found at the treasuries at Delphi and the Erechtheion on the Acropolis at Athens for Athene. They usually are in an Ionic context and represented a ritual association with the goddesses worshiped within.

Atlantes express extreme effort in their function, heads bent forward to support the weight of the structure above them across their shoulders, forearms often lifted to provide additional support, providing an architectural motif.

Atlantes and caryatids were noted by the Roman late Republican architect Vitruvius, whose description of the structures, rather than surviving examples, transmitted the idea of atlantes to the Renaissance architectural vocabulary..

Lost Wax Method - sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue or the Latin, cera perduta is the process by which a bronze or brass is cast from an artists sculpture.

In industrial uses, the modern process is called investment casting. An ancient practice, the process today varies from foundry to foundry, but the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardised.
