About the Item
an elegant pair of grand tour sculptured obelisks, carved in a warm and elegant green marble with two squared three orders bases carved in a Siena Yelllow Marble. The two marble used are a classical example of elegance and traditionally used in luxury decorations.
The obelisk is is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top, originally constructed by Ancient Egyptians and called tekhenu, the Greeks used the Greek term obeliskos to describe them, and this word passed into Latin and ultimately English.
Though William Thomas used the term correctly in his Historie of Italie of 1549, by the late sixteenth century (after reduced contact with Italy following the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth), Shakespeare failed to distinguish between pyramids and obelisks in his plays and sonnets. Ancient obelisks are monolithic and consist of a single stone; most modern obelisks are made of several stones.
