Description
This polystone elephant figurine is a little family in three pieces: two grown elephants and a calf that fit snugly together into one shape, like a puzzle. The tallest raises its trunk high, the second reaches its trunk across to the first, and the calf tucks in beneath them at the front. Every piece is etched with fine lines, little circles and draped patterns, and the whole family is finished in off white with a scratched, whitewashed texture that softens the detail. Fitted together, the figurine stands 14cm high, 16.5cm across and 3.5cm deep.
It sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, and at just 3.5cm deep it fits a narrow ledge where a bulkier ornament would crowd the space. The neutral off white suits plain modern rooms as well as warmer traditional ones, and looks at home beside pale wood, linen and green plants. Fitted together, the family reads as one solid piece; pulled apart, the three elephants stand on their own in a loose group, facing one another, so you can change the arrangement whenever you like. It also makes a gentle, thoughtful gift for anyone setting out a shelf of favourite things.
Made from polystone, a resin, each elephant has flat-bottomed feet, so the pieces stand steadily on any level surface with no stand needed, and the edges meet closely when they are fitted together. To keep the finish fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs a little more, wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like to set the family at the end of a row of books, or give it pride of place on a hall table where the light picks out the texture.

Frequently Asked
How big is the elephant family figurine?
Fitted together, the elephant family stands 14cm high, 16.5cm across and 3.5cm deep. That is a neat size for a shelf, windowsill or mantelpiece.
Do the elephants come apart?
Yes. The figurine is made of three separate pieces, two grown elephants and a calf. They fit together into one shape and can also stand apart in a group.
What is the figurine made of?
It is made from polystone, a resin material. It is finished in off white with a scratched, whitewashed texture that brings out the etched lines and patterns.
Does it need a stand?
No. Each elephant has flat-bottomed feet, so the pieces stand on their own on a level surface, whether they are fitted together or set out apart.
How do I look after it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth. If it needs more than that, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away.
What colour is it?
It is off white with a soft whitewashed finish. It sits comfortably with neutral colours, pale wood and natural textures in most rooms.
