Antique Incised Marble & Slate Obelisk
Product Description
Very handsome and impressive antique slate obelisk with incised marble insets. Sections of the base are 'marbleized' in a tortoiseshell pattern. Unusually shaped base to the obelisk, all giving it great character. Connected with a rod as is typical of an obelisk of its age. More photos available.
Dimensions: 22.5 inches tall. Base 8.5 inches square.
Condition:Very good condition for an antique obelisk. Remarkably few chips for its age. Connected with a center post, and a bit loose so that sections will turn. Three indentations on one side of the obelisk, 2 chips on pedestal, 2 chips at base of obelisk. Some minor loss of pebbled effect (scagliola) on some of the pedestal and obelisk faces. More photos available on request.
