Authentic Roman Marble 'Serpentino' Sterling Silver Place-Holder Obelisk

About the Item

This obelisk in "Lapis lacedaemonius", called in ancient Rome "Serpentino", was made by our talented artisans: the one who cut the precious ancient marble and the one who made the sterling silver part. The collection is made up of 12 different marbles and semiprecious stones that give the table a unique and elegant look. "Serpentino" is a dark green marble with irregular spots of light green or yellow color; its quarries were on the Sparta road. In Rome the Serpentine was already used in the Augustan age and, with the last of the Flavi emperors, became imperial property. This marble was considered of great value and was very popular and appreciated.
