Set of 2 Italian Travertine Obelisk Sculptures

About the Item

This set of two large Italian solid travertine stone obelisk sculptures from the 1970s is a striking example of timeless elegance and refined design, reminiscent of the work of Fratelli Mannelli. Crafted from beautiful unfilled travertine, these sculptures showcase the natural beauty and intricate patterning of the stone, making them a captivating decorative object for any interior space. The taller obelisk stands at 20 inches high with a base measuring 4.25 inches square, while the shorter one reaches 17.25 inches high with a 4-inch square base. Their significant size and the tapering geometric shape contribute to their imposing presence, turning them into focal points wherever they are placed. In very good vintage condition, these sculptures maintain their original integrity with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The preservation of their original labels adds an element of authenticity and value, underscoring their heritage and craftsmanship. These travertine obelisks are not just sculptures but are pieces of art that offer a touch of sophistication and timeless appeal. They are ideally suited for display on a shelf, coffee table, console table, or credenza, providing a touch of Italian craftsmanship to both modern and traditional decors. Their natural color palette and solid structure allow them to blend seamlessly with various interior styles, making them versatile additions to any collection of fine decorative objects.
