Description

Gorgeous Nineteen-Laties (1980s-1990s) era Maitland Smith tessellated stone display pedestal. The design is a Neo-Deco style with classical influenced form. The stone is exquisite. Look closely to see the fossil-like pattern of the sea-green and alabaster colored coral stone. Every bit of this pedestal was very intentionally designed. The neck of the platform features a mosaic stone arrangement with oval stone medallions. This pedestal is just as beautifully as the art, vase or plants you might display on it. Label beneath reads “Made in Philippines” — attributed to Maitland Smith.

This architectural display pedestal stands as an arresting testament to the Neo-Deco vision of Maitland-Smith’s 1980s–1990s Nineteen-Laties era. Handcrafted in the Philippines and marked with the original label, the piece channels classical form through a modern lens, offering both presence and finesse in equal measure.

Drawing the eye upward, the top of the pedestal glides outward from a robust base, culminating in a square platform crowned in Corinthian elegance. The surface is crafted from sea-green and alabaster-toned coral stone, its fossil-like tessellated pattern weaving natural texture into a refined, sculpted form. Beneath the cornice, a mosaic band of oval-shaped stone medallions introduces architectural detail and geometric rhythm that hints at a further interplay between antiquity and modern craft.

Generous in scale, the pedestal stands 44.25″ (112 cm) high, with a base width of 13.25″ × 13.25″ (33.7 cm × 33.7 cm) and a top platform measuring 11″ (28 cm) square. The synthesized massing creates a sense of grounded solidity while the tapering silhouette evokes refined vertical momentum.

This pedestal transcends mere functionality. It is a sculptural pedestal and a work of layered artistry, meant to elevate art, floral arrangements, or sculptural objects. At once classical and mid-century modern, it’s ideal for interiors that balance historic drama with contemporary silhouette—or gallery settings that value texture, scale, and contextual dichotomy.
