About the Item

Pair of obelisks Made from Ashford marble with pietra dura fronts 19th century This striking pair of obelisks is crafted from Ashford black marble, a high-quality Derbyshire slate renowned for its deep black hue. Likely from the late 19th century, these decorative pieces are adorned with intricate pietra dura inlay, featuring a geometric pattern of colourful stones, including malachite, jasper, and various marbles, arranged in vibrant triangles and squares. The obelisks stand on tiered square bases, enhancing their stature and giving them an architectural presence. These elegant objects showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the period, blending classical form with intricate stonework, making them both decorative and historical pieces. Some very minor nicks.
