Stunning ancient oratory in stone with pair of columns and vase sculpted with gadroons

True memory of our villages, the oratory (small monument of religious character that calls the passer-by to prayer) testifies to the Faith of our ancestors and the know-how of the stone-cutters of the time who carved it. This elegant ancient oratory in patinated ancient stones is a very good example of this heritage !

This oratory consists of a thick base connected to the shaft by a chamfer, a rectangular shaft made of paired stones, a superb niche placed on a finely molded monolith base and topped by a roof decorated with a succession of fine moldings and an elegant small stone vase carved with gadroons.

The niche, the main part of the oratory, is open on three sides. It is beautiful with its fine moldings, its pair of small columns with Corinthian capital decorated with scrolls and acanthus leaves and its 2 beautiful old wrought iron grills. These beautiful wrought iron elements present a mix of round iron bars finished by beautiful forged spikes and of an horizontal bar in square iron.

Imagine it installed as a center piece in your garden...
