AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fine and rare sculpture of an elephant from the French Art Deco period (1920s/1930s). This streamlined animal sculpture (*animalier*) stands out due to its stylized design and the fluid, undulating lines so characteristic of the heyday of French Art Deco.

The piece is cast from fine porcelain/ceramic and features a beautiful, glossy glaze in a subtle light-grey/celadon-blue hue. Its downward-curving trunk and powerful stance lend the object a timeless, elegant aesthetic that fits perfectly into both classic and modern designer interiors.

Marked Saint Clement France.

Condition: Good, 1 glaze chip from right front leg.

Secured shipping.
