Description from the seller

Imitation marble obelisk

A striking 19th-century style wooden obelisk decorated in elegant red and grey imitation marble. This finely handcrafted piece is inspired by the famous Luxor Obelisk, gifted to France by Mehemet Ali and erected on the Place de la Concorde in 1836—an event that sparked a trend for decorative obelisks in Parisian interiors.

The beautifully rendered faux-marble patina gives the piece an authentic, historic presence, making it an ideal accent for a classical, Empire-style, or eclectic interior. A decorative object with strong visual impact and timeless charm.

In excellent condition!
