About the Item

A beautifully proportioned neoclassical or Grand Tour style wooden and metal obelisk modeled after Bernini's famous Elephant and Obelisk statue in Rome, Italy. The sculptural silhouette and detail give the piece an architectural presence — equally at home in a layered English country interior or a refined Palm Beach space. This obelisk works beautifully styled atop a stack of books, flanking a mantel, or incorporated into a library or study vignette. The striking details lend character and depth, while the classical form adds a collected, timeless quality. An elegant decorative object for interiors that favor restraint, texture, and old-world influence over trend-driven styling. Dimensions: 6.5"W x 4"D x 26"H Materials: Wood, metal Style/Era: Grand Tour / Neoclassical / Transitional, Late 20th Century Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use
