This pair of Italian obelisks assembled in green marble and lapis lazuli is an extraordinary example of decorative art that embodies the elegance, luxury and craftsmanship of the period. Inspired by ancient Egyptian architectural motifs, they were made with meticulous attention to detail and fine materials. The green marble used in their construction lends a sense of opulence and sophistication, with its rich colour and natural veining adding depth and texture to the pieces. Marble was a favourite material for sculptures and decorative objects during the 19th century due to its durability and timeless elegance. The addition of lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone prized for its deep blue colour and dotted with golden pyrite inclusions, would have elevated the obelisks to even greater levels of luxury. They are in original condition.
