About the Item

Gorgeous, Pair of Hand-crafted Italian Grand Tour, Specimen Marble Obelisks, circa 18th-19th century! Tall and heavy (41”H). Specimen marble artwork flourished during the Grand Tour Florence Renaissance period between 1660-1840; it was an international symbol of wealth and good taste, an Italian hand-crafted souvenir, work of art for Grand Tourists to display in their homes to demonstrate their wealth and refined taste. Centuries later, these cherished pieces are becoming more select, harder to find. A treasured find for collectors and enthusiasts of unique and one-of-a-kind pieces with a story to tell! As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the unique qualities I seek – knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy. We know, it’s hard to find, one-of-a-kind pieces! Shop our listings for new inventory, curated from an Interior Architect and Designer’s POV. THE TASTEMAKER SHOPPE offers an exclusive mix of ‘new and old’ furnishings, founded solely on good taste, not limited by any style or era.
