Product Description
This Mexican hacienda cantera column with tapered entasis unites rustic authenticity with refined classical proportion. Carved from natural cantera stone, it features a square plinth base with a rounded torus molding, a cylindrical shaft that gently tapers with a subtle entasis curve, and a rustic capital formed by an echinus molding topped by a square abacus. The entasis detail corrects optical illusion, creating a more elegant profile compared to straight shafts while retaining the handcrafted character of Mexican stonework. Perfect for hacienda patios, Spanish Revival courtyards, and Mediterranean verandas, this column balances strength, tradition, and artistry.
