Pair of Antique Italian Grand Tour Style Marble and Malachite Obelisks
About the Item
Dimensions - H: 18 in W: 5 1/2 in D: 5 1/2 in
This stunning pair of early 20th-century Italian Grand Tour style obelisks epitomizes the grandeur and elegance associated with classical design. Crafted from exquisite marble and adorned with striking malachite accents, these obelisks are both a celebration of artistry and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy.
Rising majestically, each obelisk features a beautifully polished surface that reflects light in a way that enhances the overall elegance of the pair. The rich colors within the malachite inlays offer a vivid contrast with their deep green hues and unique patterns. These elements combine to create an opulent aesthetic that harkens back to the ancient Egyptian obelisks, which were once symbols of power and reverence.
The bases of the obelisks are skillfully designed, showcasing ornate details that reflect the craftsmanship of the period. Each piece is meticulously finished, with careful attention paid to proportion and balance, making them not just decorative objects but also works of art in their own right.
Perfect for display in a study, library, or grand hallway, these obelisks serve as striking conversation starters and evoke the spirit of the Grand Tour—a cultural phenomenon where wealthy Europeans traveled to Italy to explore its artistic and architectural heritage. Whether placed on a mantle, shelf, or as part of an elaborate table setting, these marble and malachite obelisks are sure to infuse any space with a sense of timeless elegance and historical significance.
The pair is in good antique condition with some minor small chips to the bases as well as some light surface scratches and wear to the black marble as it appears to have some natural discoloration in some parts shown in the photos. Otherwise good condition considering age and use.
If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to reach out and ask.
