Description
This wood effect resin figurine shows a mother elephant mid-stride with her calf at her side, both trunks raised high. The resin is hand painted in pale tan with a warm brown grain that swirls across the backs, ears and legs, and small darker knots picked out here and there, so from across the room the pair has the look of natural timber. The mother has curved cream tusks and lifts one front foot as she walks, while the calf looks up with its own little trunk in the air. It measures 18cm tall, 24.5cm across and 12.5cm deep, so it fits a standard shelf.
We think it looks at home on a living room mantelpiece, a sideboard or a bookcase, and it works just as well on a hallway console or a study desk. The honey and brown tones sit comfortably beside rattan, linen, houseplants and oak or pine furniture, so it suits a rustic or relaxed scheme as readily as a cleaner, more modern room with a few natural touches. Because it shows a mother with her young, it also makes a gentle, meaningful gift, a quiet nod to family and the bond between parent and child.
The figurine is made from resin and hand painted, with the grain, the knots and the soft shading around the ears and feet all picked out by brush. There is no plinth: it stands on the elephants' own feet, so it sits neatly on any flat, steady surface. To care for it, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, if it needs more, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, keeping harsh cleaners clear of the painted finish. For the best effect, angle it so the pair walk into the room rather than towards a wall, and give them a little space.
