This vintage is a real beauty warm, earthy tones and veining. It features a distinct pyramidal shape that tapers from a square, stepped base to a pointed top. A subtle carved groove on all four sides toward the bottom creates the illusion of a stepped base. This gorgeous decorative piece draws inspiration from the classical art and architecture of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Egyptian monumental form. Popular in the Neoclassical period in Europe, the obelisk emphasized elegance, symmetry, and classical elements. The perfect decor statement for the thoughtfully curated home! See less
