Pilasters, the architectural marvels that have stood the test of time, can be found in various corners of the world. Just like Ancient Roman athletes boxing in leather gloves, these pillars exude strength and elegance. In Victoria Chambers, Chowringhee, Calcutta, India, pilasters adorn the grand facade with their intricate details. They tell stories of a bygone era and add a touch of regality to this bustling city. Paris, France boasts La Sainte Chapelle where pilasters create an awe-inspiring sight. As light filters through stained glass windows onto these pillars, they seem to come alive with vibrant colors and divine grace. Traveling back in time to c. 1883 Bath brings us to Great Pultney Street where litho prints capture the beauty adorning elegant Georgian townhouses. These structures stand as a testament to timeless architecture that still captivates our hearts today. The opening ceremony at Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium showcases how even amidst solemnity and remembrance for fallen heroes, pilasters provide a sense of dignity and strength to this memorial site. Owen Jones Assyrian 14 takes us on a journey through history as we witness how ancient civilizations incorporated pilasters into their designs. These pillars not only served structural purposes but also symbolized power and artistry. Moving closer to home is Sutton Scarsdale's entrance hall from England's Lost Houses by Giles Worsley (1961-2006). A black-and-white photograph captures the grandeur of this once magnificent mansion adorned with exquisite pilasters that greeted guests upon arrival. Lady Wynne's dressing room at 20 St. James Square in London showcases how even intimate spaces were graced by these architectural wonders. Pilasters bring sophistication and charm into every corner they inhabit. Buxted Park's double-height hall in Sussex stands tall with its majestic columns reaching towards the heavens above.
