Title:Elephant Bronze Statue Early 20th Century

Size:9 1/2 in (24.1 cm) long x 5 in (12.7 cm) wide x 6 3/4 in (17.1 cm) tall.

Description:A heavy antique cast bronze of an old elephant that has a wonderful texture to the skin.

The detailed cast bronze in the shape of an elephant has been mounted on an oak base. The bronze is heavy and has verdigris accents to the patina surface. The surface has also been cast with a heavy texture. The sculpture catches the essence of a very mature elephant as it is lumbering along.

I found no artist signature or maker's marks.

MEASUREMENTS

9 1/2 in (24.1 cm) long x 5 in (12.7 cm) wide x 6 3/4 in (17.1 cm) tall. Weighs 5 lbs 1.4 oz (2310 g)

CONDITION

There are small losses to the patina on the edges of the elephant's ears, and there are chips to the paint on the tusks. There is verdigris in many of the folds and recesses in the elephant's skin, particularly on the belly and thighs. It is possible that this verdigris was added artificially, but it sure looks natural. Otherwise, the finish is in good condition and the sculpture has a good look for the age.

A very sculptural bronze depicting an elephant that shows movement and character.
