Archeitectural Icons for your Home

These confident accessories are pure 1960s, a time when natural stone became the essential accent for any Brutalist interior. This sculptural pair, standing at 12 and 9.5 inches, isn't factory-made; you can literally see the history in the soft fossil flecks and sandy veining. We love that. You can group them for a cool architectural rhythm, or just let each one sit alone like a quiet sentinel. They instantly elevate the room around them.

Dimensions:

  • Tall Obelisk: 12” H x 4.5” W x 4.5” D

  • Short Obelisk: 9.5” H x 3” W x 3” D

Condition: Excellent
