E A Cartier - Mascot - Éléphant - Metal

Art Deco-era elephant mascot from the 1930s on a beige marble pedestal.
Signature E A Cartier for an artist's proof.
Perhaps Jean Cartier (potential further research).

Fixing on the marble base to be reviewed.
With its geometric, streamlined and dynamic lines.
The elephant is designed in metal with a dark, nuanced patina (bronze or régule) with superb reflections, offering a very handsome visual presence.
Trace of wear from the passage of almost 100 years.
