HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Column Grant is inspired by a set of six marble columns crafted in Granada, Spain, between 1350–1400 and now in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The columns originally belonged to the Alhambra, the famed royal palace-city in Granada meaning “the red one,” after the red clay of its construction. The narrow columns are characteristic of the Nasrid dynasty’s (1232–1492) architectural style, and would have ornamented outdoor courtyards between palaces. The Column Grant, crafted in a sophisticated black veneer becomes a museum-style plinth for presentation.
