This is a souvenir which marking the arrival in Paris of the Luxor Obelisk.

It was originally located at the entrance to Luxor Temple, in Egypt but it was moved to Paris in 1833. Overall condition is very good. There are two tiny losses on the railings and the marble base has some minor nibbles on the edges.
The bronze Obelisk itself is in very good condition.
Overall condition commensurate with age getting on for 200 years.
