Pair of obelisks in yellow Siena marble – Italian School – 20th century A pair of classically inspired obelisks, carved from yellow Siena marble, a stone particularly prized for its rich golden hues, characteristic veining, and small natural inclusions. The choice of material makes each piece unique, as the geometric architecture of the obelisk contrasts with the organic pattern of the stone. The obelisk, a legacy of ancient Egyptian architecture that was later incorporated into the monumental language of Rome, became for centuries a symbol of power, permanence, and prestige. Its revival in European decorative arts gained particular prominence in palatial and aristocratic interiors, where pairs of obelisks, columns, and architectural elements in polychrome marble were used to create compositions with a striking theatrical presence. Dimensions: 33 × 8 × 8 cm each.
