Neo-Classicism Column - 1940-1950 - African Marble - H: 54 cm

Huge decorative obelisk composed of a pyramid-shaped spire resting on a squared architectural plinth base, made in several types of precious marbles: the obelisk is in African Marble, among the most precious in the world, known for its multicolored veining in gray, brown and ivory, while the base features the characteristic veined black marble. This is a typical artifact of Italian production from the mid-20th century, often inspired by monuments of ancient Egypt and very widespread as a luxury souvenir since the era of the "Grand Tour", ideal as a table sculpture or centerpiece for interior decoration, adding a classic and elegant touch to spaces.
