About the Item

A striking and rare pair of large vintage Italian tole obelisks, exquisitely hand-painted in rich tones of red, green, and gold. Each side features a unique Roman head motif framed by laurel leaves, offering classical elegance and individuality to each obelisk. The front bases are decorated with detailed crossed bars and an emblem, enhancing the regal presence of the pieces. Gilded spheres accent each corner of the base for added dimension and ornamentation. The upper sections of the obelisks are rotatable, adding a touch of dynamic interaction to these sculptural forms. Their monumental scale and neoclassical details make them perfect statement pieces for grand interiors or gallery-style displays.
