Description from the seller

Elegant and imposing, these two malachite obelisks represent an authentic masterpiece of lapidary art. Made with the ancient mosaic technique, every surface is composed of natural malachite carefully selected tesserae assembled with masterful skill, creating a visual play of concentric veining and wavy motifs that capture the eye from every angle. Malachite, with its deep green and hypnotic shades, has always been considered a stone tied to luxury and power, often used in Tsarist times and in the great European courts to decorate palaces, columns and precious 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 just a decorative object, but a true architectural sculpture in miniature. Perfect for enriching classical or contemporary environments, it carries with it the historical allure of the obelisk as a symbol of eternity and the ornamental strength of malachite, a stone loved as much by collectors as by interior designers. A refined and magnetic ensemble, capable of becoming the visual focal point of any space.
