Fluting on Columns

Fluting means regular vertical grooves on a column. Classical columns use it in every order but the Tuscan. Doric columns have 20 flutes. Ionic and Corinthian columns have 24. A large round fluted base shows that detail in full.

Temple Grandeur

Greek and Roman temples stood on rows of columns. Their shafts carried the weight of the roof. A partial temple column base brings that grandeur indoors. It needs no ornament beyond its flutes. Any traditional classical column pairs well with leather and wood. A grand fluted column dining table base fits an old library.

One Base or Two

One base holds a round top of 48 to 54 in. Two bases hold a rectangle from 42 x 84 to 44 x 96 in. Browse more pieces in our Pedestals and Old World Columns collection. See the finishes and FAQ page for color chips. A large round fluted base needs a firm floor, since it weighs up to 100 lbs. Place the grand fluted column dining table base on a level surface.

About Classical Columns

Columns carried the weight of Greek and Roman buildings. Architects later copied them in houses, banks, and libraries. A partial temple column base lets you live with that history.
