Description from the seller

Elegant and imposing, these two malachite obelisks represent an authentic masterpiece of lapidary art. Made with the ancient mosaic technique, each surface is composed of carefully selected natural malachite tesserae, expertly assembled to create a visual play of concentric veining and undulating motifs that capture the eye from every perspective. Malachite, with its deep green and hypnotic shades, has long been considered a stone associated with luxury and power, often used in Tsarist times and in European royal courts to decorate palaces, columns, and fine furnishings. Not by chance, malachite obelisks were symbols of elegance in the noble homes of the nineteenth century, where they were displayed as prestigious ornamental elements. This pair, for the harmony of proportions and the quality of workmanship, is not merely a decorative object, but a true architectural sculpture in miniature. Perfect for enriching classic or contemporary interiors, it carries with it the historical aura of the obelisk as a symbol of eternity and the ornamental strength of malachite, a stone beloved by both collectors and interior designers. A refined and magnetic ensemble, capable of becoming the visual focal point of any space.
