Lot 281
A pair of lapis lazuli and gilt bronze mounted obelisks by Asprey, modern, of square section and tapering form, each obelisk supported on four tortoises, above square section plinths with stepped bases, 20cm high, 5.5cm square at the bases, with an Asprey card box The choice of the tortoise as a zoomorphic support for an obelisk is possibly a strange one, but in one of the earliest examples of their use, in two obelisks in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence it has been suggested that their use at least had some symbolism. The obelisks there were set up on the order of Grand Duke Cosimo I de Medici (1519 ~ 74), who in his appreciation of, and attempts to emulate the glory of ancient Rome initiated the Palio dei Cocchi in 1563. This chariot race took place in the piazza and required two obelisks as turning posts at each end, so the use of tortoises probably signified the point where the chariots would be at their slowest.
