Each obelisk rises from a substantial stepped square base adorned with decorative floral medallions, beaded trim, and ornate foliate feet. Sculptural gilt accents surround the base of each obelisk, including feather and scroll motifs that provide a striking contrast against the dark marble. The tall, faceted obelisk forms showcase natural veining throughout the black marble, adding depth and character to their monumental silhouettes. Elegant and commanding, this matched pair makes a sophisticated statement displayed together on a console, mantel, entry table, or other prominent interior setting. The sculpture is in good condition and measure 20.25 inches in height and a diameter of 6.75 inches. See less
