19th-Century Faceted Column Somno Cabinet - 35½"

This remarkable 19th-century decorative column, crafted from carved pine, captures the understated elegance of classical design with a unique twist. Inspired by the traditional somno, this piece is shaped as a faceted column, giving it a distinctive architectural look rather than the usual rounded form. The square base provides a solid foundation, elegantly supporting the column and further enhancing its architectural character.

The beautifully aged patina showcases layers of weathered paint, with subtle undertones that add depth to its antique appeal. A pull-out board (tirette) near the top offers additional display space and visual interest, while the main body opens to reveal an interior shelf, making it as functional as it is decorative. Perfect as a pedestal that doubles as storage or as a unique bedside table, this column brings historical charm and practicality to any setting. It is a rare find that speaks to those with a love for timeless, character-rich furniture.
