About the Item
A pair of reclaimed Ashford black marble obelisks salvaged from an ex UK private collection.
This pair of matching Grand Tour style obelisks are inlaid with an array of beautifully eye-catching hard stones such as malachite, sienna marble, and fossil marble, raised on square stepped plinths.
Suitable for any interior, this pair would make a striking statement either side of a mantlepiece or positioned on pedestals between a doorway.
Dating to the 19th century, these obelisks are representative of the tapered pillars originally built in pairs at the entrances of ancient Egyptian temples.
A highly famous obelisk, Cleopatra’s Needle, is mounted on a plinth and flanked by two sculpted Sphinxes on the Thames Embankment, London.
Made in Egypt for the Pharaoh Thotmes III in 1460 BC, the obelisk is known as Cleopatra’s Needle as it was brought to London from Alexandria, the royal city of Cleopatra.
Today, people from all over the world visit to basque in its beauty. This pair of obelisks are an ode to this Egyptian masterpiece and all others that once stood proudly at the gates of ancient temples.
