Dedon "Obelisk" Stacking Garden Furniture Group
By DEDON, Frank Ligthart
Located in Hanover, MA
The Obelisk designed by Frank Ligthart for Dedon, 2008. No longer in production. Inspired by the Neolithic menhirs of Carnac in the French region of Brittany it is composed of two pairs of matching high- and low-back lounge chairs and a conical table. The base of the table supports all the chairs when stacked into its sculptural shape for storage. This listing is for one complete Obelisk PLUS a partial set of four chairs and table. Half the fun of owning the obelisk is actually having the obelisk tower on display. Once it is taken down to be used for seating then the giant sculpture is gone. Here we offer you the best of both worlds: a seating group of four chairs as well as the stacked Obelisk sculpture, which you won't need to disassemble until you are completely overrun with guests! The complete Obelisk cosists of two S-chairs, two M-chairs and the cone table. The near-complete additional Obelisk consists of three of the S-chairs and one M-chair plus the table. Price shown is for the complete Obelisk plus the extras. Both sets have brand new cushions. NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS. Image 8 shows the "spare" set which includes 3 "S" chairs (instead of 2) and 1 "M" chair (instead of 2) and one table base. The spare set will not stack to form the obelisk because that requires two of each chair. This is the ultra-chic original space-saving solution for garden, pool or terrace furniture...

Made during the reign of Emperor Hirohito also known as the Showa era (1926-1989). Butterflies embodies change and growth. They are also seen as souls of deceased loved ones. They're also associated with good fortune and happiness. It is a fine, hand cast and unusual iron butterfly lantern in the form of a Japanese Monarch Butterfly. Hang in your favorite indoor or special outdoor space. It sits on its own as well. As a gorgeous night light it will burst brilliant night light in all directions from all sides and many openings. This is an old vintage, heavy hand-cast, attractive eye catching lantern with a handsome dark patina. There is a piece on the bottom that unscrews so you can add a small candle or LED. There is a ring at the top so you can also hang. It will be a fun conversation piece to enjoy for years to come. The unusual mark on the bottom front of this iron butterfly resembles the Japanese kanji character for "work" or "craft" (\(\mathbf{I}\)), and is sometimes found on items like vintage and antique Japanese cast...

Vintage, New and Antique Garden Ornaments

Vintage, new and antique garden ornaments and classical statues can help elevate your outdoor space. The right decorative touch can accentuate the areas you’ve set aside for outdoor meals and garden parties as well as create a welcome, relaxing environment for guests and family.

In ancient civilizations, garden ornaments and statues were symbolic of religious devotion, conveyed wealth and social class, and eventually were used primarily as decoration. Today, the addition of antique garden ornaments can still elevate garden decor and help personalize an outdoor entertaining area. Finding the right decorative elements and deciding where to integrate them can greatly enhance the visual impact of your home’s exterior and transform your landscape design.

Over time, artists have used ceramic, iron, stone and metal to cast garden ornaments such as porcelain urns, cast-iron lanterns, stone obelisks and marble seating. Positioning antique and vintage garden ornaments amid meticulously manicured greenery can help render more prominent the beauty of the outdoor space you’ve tended over the years. We promise that your brightly colored flowers and other plants will pop against the antique building and garden elements you’ve introduced to your outdoor space.

Nestling a garden bench or other garden furniture near statues or an antique fountain proves welcoming to guests, offering a place to appreciate the work you’ve done on your outdoor space or to enjoy a cocktail in the open air. A large statue in the corner of the garden can draw attention to an area that might otherwise go overlooked, while a grouping of smaller statues can create a similar effect in a less-traveled corner of the yard.

Exterior design matters. Express your individuality and emphasize the natural beauty of an outdoor space with a collection of antique and vintage garden ornaments on 1stDibs that includes modern garden ornaments, Art Deco fixtures, Victorian ornaments and more.
