Description
This sitting elephant figurine is made from resin and finished in warm brown, with a surface worked to look like weathered driftwood. The elephant sits back on its haunches with its trunk raised high and curled over at the tip, its mouth open as if mid-trumpet. Every part of the body is built from overlapping panels that read like pieces of grained timber, picked out in tan and soft orange tones, with pale tusks, dark glossy eyes and darker toenails on each foot. It stands 15.5cm tall, 17cm across and 10cm deep.
At that size it sits comfortably on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a side table, where it is large enough to be noticed without crowding the things around it. The warm wood-effect finish suits rooms full of natural textures such as linen, rattan, jute and oak, and it brings an earthy note to cooler grey or white schemes. The raised trunk is the detail most people notice first, but the figurine rewards a second look from every side: the ears fan out wide, and the tail curls neatly round at the back, so it works just as well on a table seen from all angles as on a shelf.
Being resin, it holds fine detail in the grain lines, splits and knots across the body, and it rests on its haunches and feet with no stand needed. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry. We like it grouped with a short stack of books or a trailing plant, where its warm tones sit happily, and as a gift it needs little more than tissue paper and a ribbon.
