The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Grand Tour obelisks are decorative architectural models popularised from the 17th to 19th centuries, acquired by travellers across continental Europe as souvenirs of classical Egyptian and Roman monuments.

These pieces were traditionally constructed using fine cabinet woods such as satinwood, mahogany, and ebony, as well as polished marble, porphyry, and patinated bronze, often featuring detailed stringing or inlays.

Authentic period examples typically display hand-cut joinery, natural age-related shrinkage in the veneer, subtle oxidisation on ebonised borders, and weighted bases for stability.

A pair of obelisks provides symmetrical structure when arranged on a fireplace mantelpiece, flanking books on a library shelf, or positioned at either end of a hall sideboard.

Position wooden obelisks away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or fading, and dust them regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, applying clear beeswax sparingly.
