Vintage Maison Jansen Maison Charles Style Obelisks in Lucite and Brass - a Pair

This large scale pair of Lucite obelisk are very much in the manner of pieces created by Maison Jansen and Maison Charles.

Note: The cameos depict the Spanish King Fernando Alfonso XII.

FYI
Alfonso XII
Alfonso XII, 1857-85, king of Spain (1874-85), son of Isabella II. He went into exile with his parents at the time of the revolt of the Carlists in 1868 and was educated in Austria and England. In 1870 his mother abdicated her rights in his favor, and in 1874 he was proclaimed king. Supported by Martinez de Campos and Canovas del Castillo, he consolidated the monarchy, winning greater popularity for it than it had enjoyed under his mother or grandfather, Fernando VII. He was a victim of the cholera epidemic of 1885. His widow, Maria Christina (1858-1929), was regent during the minority of his posthumous son, Alfonso XIII.
