About the Item

This mid-late 19th century antique garden obelisk brings prestige and grandeur to any outdoor setting. Made in buff terracotta, it has an almost golden tone with one side unusually painted with simulated marble effect finish. The striking obelisk sits upon a terracotta plinth decorated on all four sides with a wreath. There is no makers mark, but this design is akin to the styles of English makers Blanchard or Blashfield.
