With a nod to the internationally-admired Neoclassical portico that anchors Russia's Hermitage museum, the artist of this work of Hermitage Atlantes Glass Topped Pedestal Side Table was inspired to adopt a pair of strong Atlas figures as pediments. Cast in quality designer resin with an antique stone finish, the Basil Street gallery idealized male figures, aptly placed on a pedestal for full display, are exquisitely positioned beneath a thick, glass top measuring a foot-and-a-half wide.
It came expected as seen in catalogue. I wish it was more “marble like” in finish and higher. I use it as a pedestal for my figurine statue without the glass top. It would be perfect as a side table but not so much as a pedestal, a bit too short. However, I am happy with it because of its high quality workmanship true to its exact form.. Etta. New York , NY.
