Add a touch of classical whimsy and garden-inspired elegance to your interior with this statuesque pair of vintage cast metal obelisks. Standing over two feet tall, these architectural sculptures feature a dramatic spiral or "barley twist" shaft crowned with a flame finial, evoking the grandeur of European monuments. The square pedestal bases are the true delight, featuring intricate high-relief panels depicting the classic Aesop’s Fable, "The Fox and the Grapes," with a fox gazing up at trellised vines. The entire surface is finished with a heavy, faux-oxidized verdigris and bronze patina, giving them the look of weathered artifacts recovered from an ancient villa.
Measuring 7.5 inches wide, 7.5 inches deep, and 25.75 inches tall, these obelisks possess a commanding scale perfect for a fireplace mantel, a grand dining table centerpiece, or flanking a console in an entryway. They strike a beautiful balance between Neoclassical formality and Boho Chic rusticism. They are in great vintage condition, with the intentional distressed finish and verdigris coloration creating a rich, time-worn character that adds depth and history to any room.
