Add architectural drama to your home with this pair of vintage travertine obelisks. Standing at 12" and 9.5", these pieces are sculpted from natural travertine stone, showcasing subtle veining and a creamy palette. Their tapered forms and smooth finishes evoke the elegance of ancient monuments, while their vintage origins add a layer of storied charm.
The obelisk has been a symbol of strength and eternity since its origins in ancient Egypt, where it was associated with the sun god Ra. Fast forward a few millennia, and these forms became staples of mid-century decor, celebrating minimalism and the beauty of natural materials like travertine. Pairing modern craftsmanship with ancient symbolism, these obelisks are truly timeless.
Style them as a dynamic duo or let each stand solo—they’re perfect for mantels, bookshelves, or as a centerpiece. Wherever they land, they bring balance, texture, and gravitas to your space.
