AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large bronze elephant – trunk raised – dark patina – about 1950–1970
Object
Very decorative large bronze elephant sculpture, hollow-cast and rendered in a powerful, upward posture with the trunk raised. The sculpture has a deep, almost black patina, which gives it a pronounced modern and sculptural character.
The design is cleaner and more stylized than in naturalistic bronze: flowing volumes, bold lines, and a strong balance between mass and movement. This type of decorative bronze was produced in the mid-20th century for the European and international interior market and fits very well within mid-century modern and modernist-inspired interiors.
