Make a grand statement with this monumental Postmodern tessellated stone obelisk, a masterful blend of classical form and late 20th-century architectural flair. Evoking the scholarly elegance of the Neoclassical Grand Tour but reimagined through a bold 1980s lens, this floor-standing sculpture is a true masterclass in material composition. It features an intricate mosaic of natural grey limestone, skillfully hand-applied in a tessellated pattern and punctuated by rich, contrasting panels of marbled fossil stone. The tiered pedestal base and soaring pyramidal silhouette offer a sophisticated geometric rhythm, reflecting the high-end artisanal craftsmanship popularized by iconic designers such as Maitland-Smith and Karl Springer.
Standing nearly four feet tall, this impressive obelisk measures 10" square at the base and 48.75" in height. It serves as a commanding architectural anchor, perfect for flanking an entryway console, defining a formal living area corner, or adding vertical interest to a curated library. The piece is in great vintage condition, displaying minor surface scuffs and faint character marks appropriate to its age and material, which present as a beautiful natural patina. This rare, oversized stone treasure is a must-have for the discerning collector looking to introduce soulful, structural luxury into their home. We invite you to add this exceptional find to your interior today.
