About the Item
A pair of polished cast iron obelisks. Dating to circa 1900, this matching pair would make an elegant new feature in period and contemporary properties alike.
In Neoclassical style, they would make a striking statement either side of a mantlepiece or positioned on pedestals.
These obelisks are representative of the tapered pillars originally built in pairs at the entrances of ancient Egyptian temples.
A highly famous obelisk, Cleopatra’s Needle, is mounted on a plinth and flanked by two sculpted Sphinxes on the Thames Embankment, London.
Made in Egypt for the Pharaoh Thotmes III in 1460 BC, the obelisk is known as Cleopatra’s Needle as it was brought to London from Alexandria, the royal city of Cleopatra.
Today, people from all over the world visit to basque in its beauty. This pair of obelisks are an ode to this Egyptian masterpiece and all others that once stood proudly at the gates of ancient temples.
