19th C. French Grand Tour Dore Bronze Colonne de Juillet Mounted as a Lamp
Located in New York, NY
A large and high quality 19th century French Dore bronze Colonne de Juillet mounted as a lamp. The Colonne de Juillet is a monument in France in recognition of the Revolution of 1830. It stands in the middle of the Place de la Bastille, and recognizes the "three glorious" or Trois Glorieuses (July 27-29) which was the fall of Charles X the King of France and the commencement of King Louis-Philippe, "King of the French".

Why we like them
Beautiful objects like these have always been a favourite souvenir from the Grand Tour. Thanks to their ancient, timeless form, architectural but at the same time highly sculptural, these objects are perfectly suited for classical and modern interiors.
Originally called tekhenu by the Ancient Egyptians, obelisks played a vital role in the religion as well as in the architecture of the ancient Egypt, often found in pairs at the entrance of the temples. The word "obelisk" as used in English today is of Greek rather than Egyptian origin because Herodotus, the Greek traveller, was one of the first classical writers to use the term 'obeliskos' to describe them. In Egyptian mythology, the obelisk symbolized the sun god Ra, and was said to have been a petrified ray of the Aten, the sundisk. The pyramid and obelisk's significance have been previously overlooked, especially the astronomical phenomena connected with sunrise and sunset: Zodiacal light...
