About the Item
A striking trio of solid cut crystal obelisks in graduated sizes, dating to the 1960s. These sculptural forms are precision-cut with gleaming facets that reflect and refract light beautifully—creating a dynamic presence in any interior.
The smallest obelisk stands at 10 inches, the medium at 12.5 inches, and the tallest at 14 inches, with each base measuring 2.5 inches square. Their clean geometric lines and timeless symmetry echo neoclassical motifs while embracing the mid-century fascination with minimal, architectural forms.
Obelisks have been used in interiors for centuries, beginning in Europe during the Grand Tour era, when aristocrats brought back miniatures of ancient monuments as symbols of learning and worldliness. Their tall, tapering form has long stood for stability, enlightenment, and timeless design—making them a favored motif in Regency, Empire, Art Deco, and Mid-Century Modern interiors alike.
These crystal examples take that legacy and render it in luminous form, making them perfect as illuminated sculptures that add clarity, balance, and elegance to any shelf, console, or mantel.
