Marble Obelisk

As if our coffee table wasn't already groaning under the weight of books, candlesticks and objects nobody can quite account for, we would very much like to add one more thing to it. The obelisk began life in ancient Egypt as a solar monument and has been quietly migrating onto English tabletops ever since. This one is hand-carved in Italy from Calacatta marble and has long been on Georgie's wishlist.
