Pair of Travertine Obelisks – 1960s Monumental Stone Sculptures
Pair of Travertine Obelisks – 1960s Monumental Stone Sculptures
Archeitectural Icons for your Home
This sculptural pair—one standing at 12”, the other at 9.5”—dates to the 1960s, when natural stone objects became the go-to accessory for Brutalist interiors. Their weight alone conveys presence; their soft fossil flecks and sandy veining remind you that this is no imitation, but stone shaped by time itself.
Placed together, they echo architectural rhythm. Alone, each stands like a sentinel—quietly elevating the room around it.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
