Mill, NetherlandsView all items from this sellerUnique! We have never encountered such a beautiful set of obelisks before in our daily search for unique objects. And then immediately a set of 4!
This is a set of 4 presumably Russian obelisks in Malachite veneer. Dating from the late 20th century. All in perfect condition. We found this set in the south of France.
Malachite is a mineral used as a gemstone. The Greeks and Romans were also familiar with malachite. The pulverized mineral was used as make-up and as a dye for paint. Malachite was said to be able to protect children against sorcery and witchcraft. In ancient times it was thought that it could cure eye ailments. In the 16th century it was used in Central Europe to promote the growth of children and to relieve pain.
