Introduction
This lot comprises a pair of intricately carved wooden elephant ornaments, each mounted upon a circular oak base. The elephants are depicted in a standing pose, with detailed carving to the trunk, ears, and legs. The wood appears to be a darker hardwood, possibly mahogany or a similar dense timber, and the bases provide a stable and complementary presentation. These ornaments likely date from the mid-20th century, reflecting a popular style of decorative art during that period.
Condition
Both elephants exhibit signs of age and wear, with some minor surface scratches and imperfections to the wood. The oak bases show some wear commensurate with age, but remain structurally sound. These are not pristine pieces, but their aged patina adds to their character and appeal. Collectors of animal figurines or those seeking unique decorative items may find these charming elephants a welcome addition to their collection.
