Carved in France in the late 19th century, this substantial elephant sculpture is crafted from richly variegated marble and weighs approximately 27 pounds. Captured mid-stride with its trunk raised, a traditional symbol of good fortune and protection, the figure rests on a matching marble plinth, forming a harmonious and grounded presentation.
Expertly hand-carved, the elephant features finely detailed skin folds, deeply modeled ears, and a sense of motion that brings the form to life. The marble showcases swirling veins of creamy beige, charcoal, and black, giving the piece a dynamic natural texture. The tusks are sculpted from a pale composite material, offering contrast without being ivory.
In excellent condition commensurate with age, this sculptural piece brings refined artistry and symbolic charm to any interior. A striking addition to a library, office, or entry console, it balances decorative appeal with timeless meaning.
