About the Item

This pair of cerused oak carved gesso French obelisks embodies timeless neoclassical elegance, making them a striking decorative accent for any refined interior. Expertly crafted, each obelisk features a tall, tapered oak form with a soft cerused finish that enhances the natural grain of the wood, giving it a sophisticated aged patina. The bases are adorned with finely carved gesso wreath medallions, adding a touch of classical French artistry and symbolism of victory, eternity, and honor. Standing tall and statuesque, these French obelisks draw inspiration from ancient architectural monuments, yet are scaled perfectly for use as interior décor. They work beautifully as statement pieces on console tables, mantels, or flanking entryways, adding vertical dimension and grandeur to both traditional and modern spaces. Their neutral cerused oak finish allows them to complement a wide range of design schemes, from French provincial and neoclassical to transitional and contemporary interiors. Ideal for collectors and designers alike, this pair of decorative French obelisks brings a sense of history, symmetry, and refinement to any space.
