Ornamental obelisk in Rosso Antico

An important ornamental obelisk in Rosso Antico marble, created during the nineteenth century and inspired by the celebrated ancient obelisks that define Rome’s historic landscape. The work reflects the spirit of the Grand Tour, when European travellers and collectors sought objects evocative of the grandeur of classical antiquity.

The composition is distinguished by its elegant shaft decorated with archaeological-inspired motifs, its stepped architectural base, and the small bronze figure crowning the summit. The richness of the Rosso Antico marble and the refined craftsmanship give the piece a strong decorative and collecting appeal.
