Description from the seller

The Inaccessible Beauty and Authenticity of Solid Brass

More than just a decorative object, this solid brass elephant is an undeniably rare collector's item, marked by time and possessing a unique charm.

A Unique and Noble Patina:
What makes this elephant truly exceptional is the perfect combination of its minimalist, organic design and its extraordinary density. Its surface bears witness to its history: an authentic and noble patina, with oxidation spots and color variations (clearly visible in the photos). Far from being imperfections, these traces of time enrich its character, tell its story, and lend it a raw and timeless beauty. Beneath this veil of authenticity, the radiant gleam of the shimmering brass endures, creating a striking contrast that transforms the atmosphere of a room.

A Treasure of Hollywood Regency Style:
Inspired by the golden age of glamorous design in the 1970s, this elephant embodies understated opulence. Its stylized and refined silhouette captures the essence of the Modern Regency movement: a bold form, a noble material, and a history visible on its metallic surface.

Extraordinary Density:
While most pieces from this era are plated, this one is a solid brass monolith weighing 0.974 kg. Its impressive weight lends it a presence and weight characteristic of luxury objects.

Exquisite Details:
Material: Pure solid brass.
Weight: 0.974 kg (a rare density for its size).

Dimensions: Length 15 cm | Height 9 cm | Width 7 cm.

Animal-shaped brass pieces of this quality and weight are increasingly rare on the design market. They are no longer produced with such a generous use of material. Owning this elephant, with its unique patina, is to own a piece of design history, a centerpiece that will beautifully enhance any collection or refined interior.

Careful packaging and tracked shipping.
