About the Item

A Monumental and Quite Rare Pair of 19th Century Russian Empire Ormolu Mounted Malachite Obelisks with Maiden Ormolu Mounts. Each obelisk is complete with four sides which terminate upwards to a triangular point. The bases are fitted with ormolu mounts which include hand-chased and hand-chiseled maidens holding flaming torches in either hand and on the other panel decoration of a vine with a winged bow. On top of the large ormolu mounts are smaller mounts which depict child masks in wings. Underneath and on top of the square base are ormolu mounts which depict acanthus leaves flourishing throughout with hand-chased and hand-chiseled fluted veins. The entire body of the obelisk is veneered with the most incredible and highest quality antique Russian malachite stone. Russian malachite is a captivating mineral renowned for its deep, rich green color and striking banded patterns. Originating primarily from the Ural Mountains in Russia, this variety of malachite features swirling, concentric circles and unique formations that make each piece distinctively beautiful. Its vibrant hues and intricate designs have made it a sought-after material for fine jewelry, decorative carvings, and ornamental objects. Historically significant, Russian malachite has adorned palaces and churches, reflecting its cultural and artistic value. Russia, Circa: 1830
