Classical column sculpture

This decorative object is a small tabletop sculpture modeled after a classical architectural column, likely in the Ionic or composite order given the decorative capital. The item is constructed from a cast material, possibly plaster, resin, or cast stone, presenting an off-white, cream, or beige coloration with an intentionally aged or weathered finish to mimic ancient stone. The shaft of the column features vertical fluting, and the base rests on a square plinth. The surface exhibits intentional pitting, small surface voids, and textural distress consistent with mass-produced decorative home accessories from the late 20th century. The identification of this piece is purely descriptive and based on its visual characteristics as a sculptural architectural model, with no specific high-end maker or antiquity claimed. Regarding the user-supplied note stating that the item 'has mark on it says house smart inc 87', this text is partially visible near the base of the sculpture in the photograph (bearing a copyright symbol followed by what appears to be 'House Parts Inc' and the year '87'), which suggests a production date of 1987. However, this user-supplied and visibly marked attribution remains unverified by physical inspection, and the object itself should be evaluated as an unauthenticated decorative cast piece.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this decorative tabletop sculpture is modeled after a classical architectural column with an Ionic or composite order capital and vertical fluting. The piece presents an off-white, weathered finish over a cast material such as plaster, resin, or cast stone. Per user submission: the owner notes that the item bears a mark near the base indicating 'House Parts Inc '87', suggesting a production date of 1987. I cannot verify from a photo whether this mark is contemporary to production or if the attribution is correct, as such markings can be found on mass-produced decorative accessories. Assuming the item is a late-20th-century decorative piece by the aforementioned maker, comparable items of this type typically trade in the $25 to $50 range in the secondary market, driven largely by decorative appeal rather than fine art value. I would need physical inspection to confirm the exact medium, condition, and the nature of the stamped marking. If the piece is determined to be a generic unbranded reproduction or lacking the assumed maker's mark, the value would likely decrease to the $10 to $25 range, as demand for mass-produced architectural decor is modest. To more fully understand the value, an in-person examination and close-up inspection of the base marking would be necessary.
