This extraordinary vintage obelisk is a masterclass in eclectic design, combining formal architectural proportions with whimsical curiosity. Handcrafted from a richly grained dark wood, the tapered column is meticulously adorned with geometric bone-style inlays that create a striking, high-contrast mosaic effect. Atop this stately spire sits a charming, hand-carved monkey finial, serving as a playful nod to the "Cabinet of Curiosities" aesthetic popular in grand European estates. The obelisk is thoughtfully elevated by unique melon-shaped ball feet on a matching pedestal base, providing both impressive height and structural elegance.
Perfectly suited for a wood-paneled study, a grand mantel, or a layered bookshelf, this piece commands attention as a sophisticated conversation starter. It measures 6" square at the base and stands an impressive 24.5" tall. The sculpture is in excellent vintage condition, featuring a handsome patina and minor surface blemishes consistent with its age, which only serve to enhance its authentic, storied appeal. Whether anchoring an entryway console or joining a curated collection of global artifacts, this obelisk brings a timeless, worldly character to any space. Secure this unique decorative treasure for your collection today.
