Unfortunately the pattern was a not a commercial success and it was discontinued in 1965 as it was perhaps a little too expensive for its target market although it was wildly admired in artistic circles of the day."

An unusually large 19th century Derbyshire Ashford marble obelisk, of Cleopatra`s needle, engraved with hieroglyphics, 50cm high, c.1880 This obelisk closely resembled that exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, in the catalogue of which (Vol. II, Class 37-38) it is described as: "Model of an Egyptian obelisk in Black Marble, the hieroglyphics…copied from the original brought from the Island of Philoe [sic] by Belzoni". The inscription is etched on using Henry Moore`s method. Giovanni Battista Belzoni (1778-1824) was an early 19th century Circus giant turned Egyptologist. The original obelisk itself, which had been erected around 118-116 BC by Ptolemy VIII Euergetes and stood in front of the first pylon of the Temple of Isis at Philae, was to play a major role in the history of the decipherment of hieroglyphic script, together with the much more famous `Rosetta Stone.` In fact, the base of the obelisk had a triple Greek inscription with the text of a correspondence between Ptolemy and the temple priests, while on the shaft there was a dedicatory text in hieroglyphics with cartouches of Ptolemy and his consort, Cleopatra III. The obelisk, removed by Belzoni in 1818, was shipped to England and now stands in the grounds of Kingston Lacy, the seat (now National Trust) of Belzoni`s patron William John Bankes (1786-1855), a lifelong friend of Byron. The same obelisk (and that from Heliopolis now in the British Museum) was also modelled, with acid etched inscription, by the Matlock spar turner Edward Bird [Catalogue, loc.cit.]
