Its earliest surviving capitals come from the temple of Apollo at Bassae, about 420 BC. Vitruvius credited the sculptor Callimachus with the design, after a basket on a girl's grave sprouted acanthus leaves. Romans used it on imperial monuments and on the top tier of the Colosseum. This Roman style dining table base recalls that grandeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Swag Through the Centuries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA swag, or festoon, began as a real garland of flowers hung over doors and around altars. Greek and Roman carvers turned it into stone on altars, friezes, and panels. Neoclassical and Louis XVI designers later revived the motif. The swag pattern table base here evokes Roman, Renaissance, Baroque, and Victorian taste at once.
