Pair of Vintage 8-Ft Garden Obelisks – Solid Steel & Cast Iron Crowns
A rare opportunity to acquire a matching pair of substantial vintage garden obelisks dating from around the 1960s. Hand-crafted from solid flat bar steel with decorative cast iron crown finials, each piece is detailed with dome-head bolts and square-nut fixings – a traditional construction method that speaks to their age and quality.
Standing an impressive 8 feet tall, these obelisks are ideal for showcasing climbing roses, clematis, or wisteria, creating a striking vertical focal point in any garden or courtyard. The original weathered patina offers instant character, or they could be repainted to suit your planting scheme.
Features:
Genuine mid-20th-century craftsmanship – approx. 60 years old
Solid flat bar steel frame for strength and durability
Cast iron crown finials, bolted through for stability
Traditional dome-head bolts with square nuts
Matching pair – perfect symmetry for formal garden layouts
Overall height: approx. 8 ft (2.44m)
These are far heavier and more substantial than modern tubular-steel reproductions, built to last for decades more. Sourced from a private estate, they are in solid condition with attractive, even surface patina.
Price for the pair: £495 (open to sensible offers)
Collection only due to size and weight. Delivery can be arranged at cost.
