One of a pair of shelled belisks from the Venetian Collection of Judith Auclair was featured in the Luxury Lifestyle section of Gulfshore Life magazine.

"The Venetian Collection is my tribute to the eternal beauty of Venice. Featuring a pair of shelled antiqued mirrored obelisks, they are dramatic reminders of how this iconic design element travelled from Egypt to 13th century Venetian architecture to grace many Venetian palazzi."
